Do hand dryers spread germs

The jury is out. If you do a search on google you will find many studies which contradict each other on this subject. TheMayo Clinic says 'no', however Nurses times and the British Nursing Association say 'Yes' hand dryers do spread bacteria. There are actually so many studies done it would boggle your mind! Some of them target the bacteria spread in the air more than what is on your hands. There are also claims that using paper towels can be just as bad.

IMHO: Don't take any chances - naturally air dry your hands in public places!
