Another word for dandruff, it's used most often to describe pet skin particles and adhering body fluids such as saliva that end up in our homes. Dander includes skin flakes, hair follicles, and allergens sticking to them (dried saliva, etc.) Cat dander is very fine and can remain airborne for an extended period, aggravating allergies and asthma.
