The new study has an innocuous name: “Deposition of Bacteria and Bacterial Spores by Bathroom Hot-Air Hand Dryers.”

The study, published by the American Society for Microbiology, did microbial surveys of bathrooms at the University of Connecticut to find out whether hot-air hand dryers draw in microbes and then blow them back out. The findings were gross — really gross.
