    I mean unless the air blowing on your hands was freshly filtered and uv sterilized that is going to be an issue to.

      i have lost mucho sleep over the fact that even holding my breath while using an air dryer doesn’t prevent poop gems being blasted into my pores 💀

        poop gems

        The fecal mist lingering around is real. That’s why one should always flush with a closed lid.

          You ever seen an airtight toilet lid? That ain’t doing shit against aerosolized fecal particulates. Don’t worry though, no one’s gets sick just breathing the air in a bathroom, most public toilets in America don’t even have lids. If “fecal mist” was an actual health risk, the science would be well in by now, the patterns would be unavoidable and ubiquitous. Maybe if you lick the walls where the bathroom air condensates you might get sick, but most people are reasonable enough not to do that just by instinct.
