According to Prevention Magazine which interviewed and reported findings from a group of doctors who are experts in infectious diseases, paper towels are preferred and recommended over air hand driers.  Why?  The consensus among the group is that drying your hands with towels dislodges more of the germs than blow drying.  Perhaps the reason wherever there are hand driers, there are also hand paper towels.  Also the hot dry air tends to dry and flake skin with repeated daily washings through the days.  The latter [dry fllaking hand skin] increases spread and growth of hand germs.  Interesting........

That is intriguing Carmine, particularly in light of standard hot air hand dryers regardless of the new Airblade.

I thought the same Vacmanuk.  Goes against conventional wisdom.  But here in the states it seems this is common for scientific fact especially with food/drink and health concerns.  We go from one common rule to another very different one just after a few years of indoctrination.  Like economists, doctors have all different opinions on the same matter/issue and take turns proclaiming the latest to the consumers, who are left scratching their heads.

I suppose its the same thing with hospitals and clinics in the UK; they never use bagless cyclonic vacs because dirt escaping in clean environments is unheard of. Bags are the ruler of the day. Strangely enough when you come to think of it though, it's not exactly good for the environment to rely on paper towels unless scientists come up with a harmless biodegradeable tissue. Tesco supermarket in the UK have brought out biodegradeable shopping bags but they've been tested by Which? UK consumer mag only to find that they break when loaded against other supermarket "free" bags.
