Ewwwww

A former poster that was working on her PhD. in bio-ethics opined that the reason that asthma has reached damn near epidemic proportions is our obsession with germs and cleanliness. As children their immune systems weren't sufficiently challenged so later in life the body over-reacts to the inevitable. As good a theory as any I suppose.

Considering how many kids have asthma it's not the strongest theory.


I've not researched it but I figure it because people with asthma have been able to breed via inhalers, so we got more asthmatics.

Like some allergies, wouldn't be anywhere near as prevalent without epi pens and benadryl at hand.

I have heard that the main reason air dryers have displaced disposable paper towels is labor cost -- the towels have to be periodically replaced.

But I find that hard to believe. If you're going to hire somebody to clean your restroom, how much more can it cost to have him replace the towels?

Well, I think this thread is mainly about restaurants, etc.

Eugenics, now?

See? This was a dumb and useless response that you should have tabled.

But, except for the button, you don't have to touch the surface of the jet dryer.

And sometimes, not even a button.

But, if a dryer means no paper towels, it's harder to avoid touching the same door handle all those bastards who don't bother washing touch.

I've used a toe hold to open a bathroom door before. Worked great; they should install more.

Gross.





Paper towels please.

Mam, earlier this very day I had my tongue up someone else's asshole.

I couldn't care less- those things are a great way to warm up your hands before you wipe them on your pants.

I just read through this thread and I think I figured out why I only get sick like once every three years.

My immune system is jacked as fuck. "I don't wanna push the hand dryer button!" "I don't wanna touch the door handle!"

Yhall if you don't imbibe the germs you'll never get desensitized to them. Think of it like getting a shot and eat your piss nuts.

the lack of toilet lids in most restrooms means every time the toilet is flushed, gazillions of fecal bacteria are sent into the air to land on every surface available to them, including people. these same bacteria LOVE the warm breeding grounds of the air hand dryers and get blown onto your hands every time you use them.

George Carlin did a routine about how he and his friends growing up in NYC never got sick, because they went swimming in sewage (i.e., the Hudson).

Yhall wanna know how many poop germs are probably on your toothbrush?

 

[juttjaw]

Yep. I will not use those things. I remember hearing about them way back to childhood. Back then our only options might be those or that blue and white towel that pulled down in an endless loop. No thank you to that too. I'll wash and walk out with wet hands.

Those towel dispensers really do have an end. They have a roll of cloths that ends, then someone comes and takes it away to be "washed and sanitized"... I'm sure there are non standardized descriptions of those terms.

I do agree, wash hands and walk out like a sergon waiting to be gloved up.
