Just a visual of what studies have already shown: those hand dryers are bacteria farms.

I'd be curious to see something measuring the effect on some health outcome--contagion metrics, probably. My prior is that most concern about cleanliness (sterility?) in situations like this is primarily disgust-driven, and there's not much health to gain at current US margins.
-
when was the last time a US bathroom was identified as an important vector for contagion? granted that towels remove more bacteria than air dryers, fine; but does it matter outside iatric contexts?

hahahaha that's pretty bad :D

lol title https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14499795 similar idea, of physical location as disease transmission vector; pass on cruise ships in general
-
hahaha oh god I wasn't going to anyway but now, super that

Frankly curious how different a result you'd get if you waved a petri dish around in the same bathroom, or anywhere else for that matter I basically accept the "warm/wet environment" argument against warm air dryers but I expect things are photogenically terrible all over

I've used those things so many times. Clearly I am immortal.
