Last week, I read a medical hack from an article and that is really something new for me. How many of us know that the large amount of the dust in our house is actually dead skin? The dust in houses that collects on tables, mattress etc is due to shedding of the upper layer of skin called as dead skin. Human shed about 600000 particles of skin every body about 1.5 pounds a year. By 70 years of age, an average person will have lost 105 pounds of skin. The outer layer of your skin is the epidermis. It is found thickest on the palms of your hands and soles of your feet. Dead skin comprises about a billon ton of dust in the earth’s atmosphere.
