Y'all understand, that protection is referred to spiritual aspect? You do understand that, Judaic folk does not really care about matters physical? Like body and such? As they are spirits in it? And, for everything is g-d's will?
Otherwise, any amulet, that you believe, will work - will work.

Also, if mezuzah or whatever else is made out of silver, it kills bacteria. Known bacteriostatic modality, widely used in wound care. No need to sanitize anything.

If you do not have mezuzah available, you can place 2 dry spiky plants on either side of door jamb. Like dry thistle heads. Works same way - creates barrier preventing "bad" from coming in.
Why does all this smell of paganry?

Perfect examples of religious beliefs causing people harm.

Please people, follow science when it comes to medicine. It is a far superior method.

Belief is the most powerful force in the universe.
