An experiment was conducted to compare bacteria reduction for three different hand drying methods: using paper towels, using a hot air dryer, and evaporation. In this experiment the
participants handled uncooked chicken for 45 seconds. The participants then washed their hands
with a single squirt of soap for 60 seconds and finally used one of the three hand drying methods.
After participants dried their hands, the researchers measured the bacteria count on the
participants’ hands
