YSK that restroom hand dryers blow fecal bacteria onto your hands
There was a peer-reviewed report published in the journal for Applied and Environmental Microbiology that studied the amount of bacteria that was blown from hand dryers in 36 public restrooms at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine. The sample from the study concluded that as many as 60 colonies of bacteria were blown from a hand dryer in just 30-seconds. A number of those bacteria were linked to fecal and human bacteria, even bacteria known to cause serious infections.
Why YSK: So that you are informed for your own health, hygiene, and wellness and to prevent further spread of more harmful bacteria.

Yeah if there is nothing but blowers I just wipe my hands on my pants. If the blowers could somehow bring in outside air that should be better, but that complicates the install and maintainence.
Just wait a minute and your hands will dry on their own. Ideally you used soap and rubbed them together under the water long enough so they are clean. You did, didn't you?
Why are you talking down to them? Don't be rude.
what part of that post made you think he wasn’t washing his hands? the part where he described how he dries them?
So weirdly antagonistic.
Well you did, and I did. But think about how many did not, when you open the bathroom door after meticiously washing and drying your hands...
You don’t wash your hands. Your hands wash each other and you watch.
