Yeah, dust is made in large part of dead human skin. Little bits of it flake off of you all the time, although you don't notice it.
You're not allergic to the dust. Odds are, you're allergic to the little creatures that live in it - dust mites. They're these very, very tiny things that live in and eat the dust - your dead skin. Dust mite allergies are quite common.

dust is mostly made of DEAD skin cells. the cells on you right now are still living. also, you could be allergic to dust because of other things like dustmites and dander and stuff in it.

Shed skin flakes and.....geez, I used to know this. Skin flakes and other stuff too. So maybe you're just allergic to the other stuff in the dust.

Dust is actually the dead skin of dust mites. That is what you are allergic to.
