Yes it is, partially, but people aren't allergic to that part. A lot of people are allergic to the microscopic mites that eat it, though.

People aren't really allergic to dust, but to dust mites. Tiny mites that eat the dust.

Yep, and I am definitely one of 'em - allergic, that is - not a dust mite.
