    Bathrooms with jet dryers can host five times more bacteria on their floors than those employing paper towels, a recent study found.https://usat.ly/2CINy4x

        Ew. Thankfully our hospital doesn’t have dryers! Unfortunately, they also don’t have toilets with kids, so...💩plumes. I’m not a germaphobe. I used to share a soda with my friends, I drove a school bus for 15yrs. I’ve been sneezed on, barfed on & bled on. But this is extra gross!

        Bathroom floors are dirty. Also 5X more isn’t really that much more when talking about bacteria. Not all bacteria is harmful, and E. cool is everywhere anyway. Bet that study was sponsored by a paper towel co #brokenNews

        Which means more bacteria is exiting your hands than using conventional paper towels, or am I missing something?

        I think the issue isn’t well said in the article, but the dryers circulate the bacteria around including on your hands when running.

        So it sucks bacteria off the floor and puts it in your hands?

        It’s really a shame that the human body doesn’t have any means by which to fight off bacteria.

        I keep reading this information and I thought about this yesterday as I was using a Dyson dryer in a restroom. Sometimes I just get toilet paper and dry my hands and it’s good to have paper so I can open the door ihandle if it’s a door I have to use the handle and not push…
