Answer:
Yes, but it is not a good idea. Overcurrent devices are not allowed in bathrooms of dwelling units, dormitories, guest rooms and guest suites as stated in 240.24(E) but that doesn't prohibit them from being in bathrooms of other occupancies. Besides the excessive moisture concern, think about when someone needs to do troubleshooting or other work.
