LOL, only if tastefully done. I'm just saying, a couple dead epi cells are something that should be overlooked, as they cannot be avoided and are the main component of household dust. The stray clothing or paper fiber is another nuisance. Paula

Shed skin cells can fall from any exposed skin, not just the hands. Like from the face of those that do not wear make-up or lotion.

The best option is having your HTs using some skin lotion (like Keri lotion) to prevent shedding of cells.

I'm leaning towards "thumbing blocks" with an ungloved hand but don't know for sure. Other possibilities I've come up with are dandruff from the head or uncovered arms. I hate to see our histologist work in a complete tyvek outfit so I'm searching for clues. Thanks to all.
