Disgusting dead skin cells?

Question

Human shed many dead skin cells everyday. Some of the dead skin cells can

even "float" on the air and can be inhaled/ sallowed by others when having

meal.

If the dead skin cells are shed from a dirty person/ smelly feet, does it

mean that we are eating others' smelly skin pieces?

Are they harmful and why?

Answer 1

Well the short answer is no, not really very harmful to you.

Our body's have this amazing system that helps kill harmful bacteria that enters our body through the air or food we eat. Unfortunately we really can't stop these things from entering our systems but our body has an amazing protection system that kills bacteria on site.
