Do you kill at least a few germs when you rub your hands together or clap them?

Cause I know blood vessels need repair when you run too much or even slap your face.

    no firstly germs are not big as mosquitoes.they can fit in the space between your hands when you are rubbing them Secondly many germs die even on your hands without clapping so it is less likely that you kill them. Lastly it is less likely that you penetrate the cell wall to squeeze the cytoplasm out of the

    It depends on the germs you are talking about. The skin itself is already dead on the epidermis(the outer layer of skin), but if you are talking about pathogens then you most likely just move them not kill them because if it were that easy people wouldn't get sick barely.

    I'm not sure if it would kill them, but it might move them around, which would do absolutely nothing for you. It would be absolutely pointless, though, since it wouldn't kill nearly enough of them to actually stop them from doing any damage.
