ELI5:If someone has a respiratory infection, why can't they just breathe in Lysol (which kills 99.99% of germs)?

Why couldn't someone just breathe in Lysol instead of having to be sick for a few days?

Lysol will also kill people cells as well.  If we get a little on our hands, it's not a big deal since we have a protective layer of dead skin cells.  Internally it could cause a lot of damage.  Antibiotics are tailored to interfere with bacterial growth but not impact human cells.  Lysol goes after any living cell indiscriminately.
