This has been debunked. Most of it does not come from a person.

I promise you most of the dust in my house is from me.

Because I work construction, and I often forget to dust off before entering.

Have you read your own linked article?

From the article you've linked:

And since an individual with the average amount of skin surface area sheds 1,000 skin cells per hour, that means a lot of the dust in your home, and many other places, truly contains a lot of dead skin.

“[T]he debunkers are debunked,” Muller says in the video, adding that “dead skin cells do make up a significant portion of household dust.”
[...]
Are you shocked to learn that this “myth” is, essentially, true?

A significant portion, yes, but not the majority of it. The majority of it comes from fabrics, or depending where you live and the air system you have, outside.

If you watch the full video that point is made clear.

Alright. I have only read the article. Might watch the video sometime later.
