Not the twilight zone...it's just basic science. Soap breaks down the cell structures of viruses and bacteria, therefore killing them. It's the reason we all wash our hands to begin with. It's why we wash our hands after touching raw meat or picking up dog poop in the backyard. But, once a virus or bacteria enters your system, you can't wash your insides out. There's no cure for influenza or salmonella, either. But you can reduce your likelihood of getting it by washing your hands frequently.
