It sucks that the only device that works spreads germs. Will humanity ever find a hand drying method that not only dries hands but is also safe?

Paper towels? Lol

Wilcox et al were working in a hospital setting and just found that the air bacterial counts were higher around hand dryers than around paper towel dispensers, which doesn't establish whether the hand dryers are actually a source of bacteria. A more recent meta-analysis found mixed outcomes. So both the sign and the graffito need to revise and resubmit, ideally with a more comprehensive survey of the published literature.

Inconclusive evidence tag?

Teach the controversy via whiteboard marker on the bathroom mirrors!

Done. :) Do you all think it should be a new rule to tag debunked or inconclusive evidence?

I kinda got that sense from the moment that “AirBlade” sprayed all my germy hand water up into my face

All air dryers are trash, always have been.

I can't fathom how those dyson piece of shit blade hand dryers were chosen at so many places instead of like a Columbia Vortex.

Those nasty ass dysons near guarantee you touch the inside of them, all while misting water back up towards your face.

I always have to imagine I’m playing Operation and it’s going to buzz and light up a red light over my head if I bump the sides.

tried using one of those hand dryers and it made my hands smell terrible

[-] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Then the hand dryer is not your problem. Try using soap next time.
