Comment on Why do so many hand dryers not dry hands? Am I doing something wrong?

Given the issue is fixed by putting HEPA filters on the intake of the dryers, it indicates the bacteria is coming from the air in the bathroom, not wet hands.

  That Harvard article is what I linked above. It’s where I found that the HEPA filter on the intake works well to reduce bacterial spread.

    You gave the article a good and proper skim reading! Anything more in-depth is overkill. You got the gist of it that’s enough lol
