Enzymes in body fluids provide a chemical barrier to pathogens. Gastric juice, for example, contains the protein-splitting enzyme pepsin and has a low pH due to hydrochloric acid in the stomach. The combined effect of pepsin and hydrochloric acid kills many pathogens that enter the stomach. Similarly, tears contain the enzyme lysozyme, which destroys certain bacteria on the eyes. The accumulation of salt from perspiration also kills certain bacteria on the skin.

What chemical kills germs?
Common chemicals that are effective at killing germs include bleach (sodium hypochlorite), hydrogen peroxide, alcohol (isopropyl alcohol or ethanol), and quaternary ammonium compounds. These chemicals work by disrupting the cell membranes or proteins of the germs, leading to their death. It is important to use these chemicals following the instructions provided to ensure effective germ-killing without causing harm.
What cell kill germs that attacks the body?
