animal dander
Furry friend flakes
Animal dander consists of tiny flakes of skin shed by pets and other animals with fur or feathers.
These microscopic particles become airborne and settle on surfaces throughout living spaces, often triggering allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Dander is distinct from pet hair itself, though the two are often discussed together as allergens.
My allergies flare up from cat dander even when I don't touch the cat directly.
