  Environmental Health Officer here… I had a classmate who did a study on this, specifically the Dyson-type where you stick your hands in downwards.

  Next time, take a look at what’s there in the 2mm gap on the bottom inside where the water, etc. collects, and where the forced air blows all that material. Remember to not breathe.

  There’s a reason why we direct food businesses to use paper towels in the kitchen, not hand dryers. Also, because ain’t nobody got time to properly wash their hands for 30 seconds and then stand there completely drying their hands when they have 20+ chits on the go.

  There’s a reason they removed them all in my country and they never came back.
  Do you guys still have them?

    Australia, yes. I especially hate the ones that have a button to turn on and have so little power that if you rubbed your hands together fast enough, they’d dry faster via friction than using the dryer.

      Thank goodness we have takeaway towels dangling all over our bodies.
      At least in your case it’s the more hygienic option.
