danders
Tiny shed scales
Danders is the plural of dander, which has two meanings.
One is the tiny scales shed from skin, hair, or feathers—a common allergen: Cat dander triggers her asthma.
The other appears only in the phrase get one's dander up, meaning to become angry or irritated: Don't get your dander up over something so trivial.
