So many weird takes. Isn't the simple answer just that you can't kill what's already dead? Our outer skin isn't alive. It's dead armor, basically. If it wasn't, hand sanitizer would hurt like a motherfucker, as it does if you have a cut or scrape. Same with our mucus membranes in our mouth etc. Our living cells are generally not exposed to the outer world because of the infection risk.
