There was a peer-reviewed report published in the journal for Applied and Environmental Microbiology that studied the amount of bacteria that was blown from hand dryers in 36 public restrooms at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine. The sample from the study concluded that as many as 60 colonies of bacteria were blown from a hand dryer in just 30-seconds. A number of those bacteria were linked to fecal and human bacteria, even bacteria known to cause serious infections.

      I do, just try to avoid other people’s dicks and use hand sanitizer a lot. Sounds like you have a problem with this there, dickhands. Does that mess with your fetish or something?

        But hand sanitizer is only 99.9% effective. You still have millions of other men’s dick germs on your hands, on your keyboard, in your mouth.

        You cannot escape the dicks. No matter how unbathed you are.

        Dicks.

        Dicks.

        Dicks.

        Now they’re in your eyes.

          That may be true but at the end of the day, you got more dicks on you than me, homo.
