Just don't put it in your bedroom. All those dead skin cells wouldn't do good to it anyway.

Since when is dust a concern for hard drives??

Drives like this are hermetically sealed with an inert gas like argon or helium on the inside. Even the presence of oxygen and nitrogen molecules can compromise the drive. If dust is getting to the moving parts of your hard drive, it's toast no matter where it's installed.
