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.
Why YSK: So that you are informed for your own health, hygiene, and wellness and to prevent further spread of more harmful bacteria.

Literally everything in the restroom is covered in that… Including the air you breathe. Enjoy!
Smell is particulate. You can smell the last guys poo because little pieces of it are landing in your nostrils.
Thank you for that
Happy to help!
You’re smelling mostly the scatole. That’s the primary contributor to the smell of faeces.
Scatole is used in making perfumes, incidentally. And vanilla ice cream.
Welcome to Scatoles. I recommend our Pasta Crappini with homemade Feces Bread. Ciao!
