There was a peer-reviewed report published in the journal for Applied and Environmental Microbiology that studied the amount of bacteria that was blown from hand dryers in 36 public restrooms at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine. The sample from the study concluded that as many as 60 colonies of bacteria were blown from a hand dryer in just 30-seconds. A number of those bacteria were linked to fecal and human bacteria, even bacteria known to cause serious infections.

Why YSK: So that you are informed for your own health, hygiene, and wellness and to prevent further spread of more harmful bacteria.

      Well yes, but no.jpg

      The heart is extremely bad at regenerating, classic muscles the opposite for example.

      Then let’s not get started on consciousness and memories plus our physical body, which is who we are today (or ‘now’)…

      So somehow yes.

      And good night I’m off to sleep !
