We did this test with petri dishes in my high school biology course where we had students wash their hands, air dry them or use paper towel dispensers or air-blower dryers, and compared all the results. Oddly enough the paper towel and air drying alone both resulted in lots of bacteria growing in the dishes. I’m not sure how effective those paper towels are - or if it’s just that kids don’t know how to wipe their hands!
Well when you think that our adult bodies have more foreign bacteria in them than human cells, it’s pretty amazing we can even move, or walk or talk. We’re kind of walking bacteria bombs. Maybe our systems get used to being overloaded with bugs and so, that feels normal to us.
Honestly I loathe those auto dispensers.
I get the hygiene aspect but it’s annoying af waiting for it to register your hand wave just to spit out a pathetic amount of paper towel.
Buy the key on Amazon and then you can change the settings to dispense more or automatically
Get big rock, for free, from the outside. Smash technology. Get resources. Reject society.

Yeah honestly it’s amazing we don’t have a pandemic all the time with how much microbes exist everywhere all the time.
But I guess there is a reason why the human population completely fucking exploded after the creation of antibiotics.
