Comment on Compared to paper towel, Dyson hand dryers blow 1300x as many viral germs (2016)

Comments

Dysons were briefly popular in hospitals, as a cost-saving measure. Turns out permanently installing a safe harbor for bacteria in the form of a device that is constantly hot and moist, and then blowing that crap onto people’s hands...

Dysons were worse. It was so damn easy to accidentally touch the edge of one while pulling your hand out. Time to wash your hands -all over again-.

It’s been a while since I saw a hospital with air blow dryers, Dyson or otherwise. At least in the areas where physicians clean their hands.
