If micro organisms reproduce in warmth why do we wash our hands in hot water?

Because heat actually does kill certain types of microorganisms, like the germs on your hands. Just because some microorganisms thrive in warm environments, doesn't mean they all do. What could be helpful to one organism could be toxic and lethal to another.
