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.

I kinda got that sense from the moment that “AirBlade” sprayed all my germy hand water up into my face
All air dryers are trash, always have been.
I can't fathom how those dyson piece of shit blade hand dryers were chosen at so many places instead of like a Columbia Vortex.
Those nasty ass dysons near guarantee you touch the inside of them, all while misting water back up towards your face.
I always have to imagine I’m playing Operation and it’s going to buzz and light up a red light over my head if I bump the sides.
tried using one of those hand dryers and it made my hands smell terrible
