[Histonet] un-nucleated squamous epithelial cells

[Charles, Roger]

Hello,
Has anyone studied where un-nucleated squamous epithelial cells originate from?   I'm leaning towards "thumbing blocks" with an ungloved hand but don't know for sure.  Other possibilities I've come up with are dandruff from the head or uncovered arms.  I hate to see our histologist work in a complete tyvek outfit so I'm searching for clues.
Thanks to all.
Roger
