I thought that this was very interesting information. It came to me from
Someone who works in sales & distribution of cleaning & maintenance
Products for large industries.
Everyone in the cleaning industry has always been told that hand dryers in
Restrooms are not sanitary, they spread germs and bacteria around. I
Always thought that this just came from the paper companies because they
Are loosing sales to the hand dryers. A couple of years ago, I was
Working with a rep, and I noticed that after he washed his hands and
Noticed that there were no paper towels, only a hand dryer he left the
Restroom with wet hands. I asked him about it. He said that hand dryers
Blow a lot of germs and bacteria around. He also told me to take a look
Under the hand dryer next time I was in a restroom. There is a filter
Underneath the hand dryer that is supposed to be cleaned on a weekly
Basis. I looked at one and it looked like it hadn't been cleaned in
Years. It had layers and layers of caked on gunk (disgusting) . Since
Then I will not use hand dryers in restrooms. Now this is where the story
Gets really interesting. The
Schools and universities that have had the H1N1 (swine flue) outbreak
This year are being told by the health department that they have to take
Out all of their hand dryers and replace them with towel dispensers
Because the hand dryers are spreading disease. Please pass this along so
Everyone knows not to use hand dryer

Just the thought of all those little molecules of piss and poop getting sucked into the inlet vent of the machine,then heated and lastly sprayed all over your hands...well, it just makes you want to slip into the nearest stall and grab one of those white paper cowboy hats, in the box over the john, and use it as a paper towel. Then again......

Think I'll just start carrying a hanky again.

I can't remember where I heard this ,but .. A Yuppie and a biker were in a public restroom. the Yuppie finished and started to wash his hands, the biker just zipped up and started to leave. Yuppie says "My momma taught me to wash after using the toilet."

Biker says,"My momma taught me not to piss on my hands."

Well, technically Urine is sterile. Hand sanitizer in most cases will take care of the majority of the nasties in a pinch...just don't use that flowery bath and body stuff.

Wyoming air is so dry that I wash my hands, give 'em a shake and a brisk rub together: poof! Extra water gone. I didn't know what to do while I was in Texas last month... hands stayed wet all day.
