Why do you imagine that normal hands dryers are wet? The original Dyson airblades? Sure. Those are gross. Normal air dryers don’t have anywhere to store water, and if somehow you got water inside, it would rapidly dry itself out from normal use.

I had to read all of 4 sentences to see that this does not say that air dryers are growing bacteria. In fact it says the opposite, that there was very little bacteria in the nozzles. There is bacteria in the air and the dryers are sucking it in and pushing it onto hands being dried.

False.
