Health: Be careful using hand dryer, hands can be filled with bacteria..

Hand Dryer: After using the public restroom, people often use the hand dryer available there to dry their hands. But after reading this news, now you may have to think about putting your hands under the hot air dryer. According to research, using a hand dryer can expose your hands to bacteria. In the year 2018, a shocking thing has been said in research related to this. According to research, using a hand dryer can increase the exposure of bacteria in your hands.

What was found in the research
According to research, exposure to bathroom hand dryer air for 30 seconds can increase up to 254 colonies in a petri dish. It was not clear to the study's researchers at first whether the bacteria were growing because of the dryer or if they were being pulled from the bathroom air because of the dryer. Therefore, scientists installed high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters in the dryer to reduce bacteria from bathroom air as much as possible.

More dangerous than toilet paper
According to a study in Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology, using an air hand dryer to dry your hands can spread bacteria to your hands. Due to this, there is a risk of getting more bacteria than paper towels. At the same time, according to previous research, due to air hand dryers, bacteria from the bathroom air can reach your hands.

How to wash hands
Wash your hands carefully with soap and water for at least 30 seconds. According to this research, using paper towels can be a better option than hand dryers. Apart from this, we should prevent our hands from touching any kind of contaminated places. Avoid using jet air dryers as these are most associated with spreading germs in the bathroom than hand dryers.
