Re: I forgot the Airblade!

All blower hand driers are efficient spreaders of all sorts of contamination, as the late, great, Jack Cohen[1] demonstrated years before Dyson's version appeared.

Extra points for all the automated "air fresheners" that squirt lemon-scented[2] sprays into the air above the hot drier and its very worn and sparking electric motor, causing a buildup of strange brown stains on the wall (and you eyes, lungs and everywhere that the blower can send it). Limonene is ok, limonene and ozone is bad news.

[1] you may know him from Science of Discworld, from his work with various authors designing viable alien biosystems (e.g. Niven/Pournelle/Barnes samlon) or from his contributions to understanding issues surrounding human reproductive biology.

[2] lemon-scented moist towelettes are fine, but you may experience a short delay until they are in stock.
