When the pandemic first got going and we had to use gobs of sanitizer at work I started having a harder time with my lungs so I tried to wash my hands instead of using the sanitizer and things got better after that.

Soap & water works well to get rid of germs on your hands. While we don't want to think of it, we are home to billions of germs. 5% of your body weight is germs. And most germs are beneficial. Years ago, the hospital, where I worked, installed these super, industrial strength hand sanitizers., we began to come down with rashes and swollen hands. Turns out we had fungus infections. The germs on our hands were keeping fungus from developing. Repeated use of the hand sanitizers were wiping out all our fungus eating germs. We had to switch to less caustic sanitizers, and soap & water.

Smart move.
