To clothes they are, they eat your clothes.

Some of them suck blood.

Others eat male genitalia.

Some will bite your nipples off.

Most crawl up your nose and then you inhale them though, so yeah they are super dangerous.

Ive been told they crawl in your ear and lay eggs and the babies go into you head and eat away at your brains maybee this is just a story but im really scared of them now :( :\

Not generally, don't eat them ....... they can startle you if you don't see them coming but they are

pretty harmless. People are more likely to be injured running away from them and trying to duck them.

Clothes moths are not particularly dangerous to humans, but as their name implies, they are harmful to clothing because they eat holes in it. The real name for a clothing moth is Tineola bisselliella.

Thay can be. If they get into your closet or somewhere you store pureses, clothes, and towels, they will eat right through them.
