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?
I mean sure, but!
... It trains everyone to make the silly nyaa anime catgirl poses with our arms and hands.
Checkmate.
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.
All air dryers are trash, always have been.
I kinda got that sense from the moment that “AirBlade” sprayed all my germy hand water up into my face
UV kills the germs. They should install lamps. Added bonus everybody gets tan hands.
And also an organization-wide statistical increase in skin cancer!
