Nicole Ward, a resident of California, caused a real storm of indignation on the Internet by posting a shocking photo of pathogenic bacteria and fungi, which she easily obtained by examining a regular hand dryer in the nearest public toilet.
Most of those who responded to the message and shared it - and this is more than half a million people, considered this post to be one of the most useful on Facebook for all its existence, writes New York Post. Woman even offered to call the man of the year.
Nicole has published a snapshot of a Petri dish, in which bacteria grown from a hand dryer have grown.
“Are you ready for a brain blast? It has grown in a petri dish in a few days. I put the plate in a covered dryer for just three minutes. Never dry your hands in this. Mushrooms and bacteria will settle on them, and you will assume that they are clean. ”
Nicole emphasized that she does not want to scare anyone - her goal was to show page subscribers how serious the threat of infection with pathogenic microbes, even from banal household items, can be. According to some subscribers, "post-traumatic stress" after seeing the photos has already made them avoid hand dryers.
