No: Your head is likely to be hurting from inhaling the fumes, not from eating with contaminated hands. Just use a mild detergent on a paper towel to clean your phone. You may use a wipe like sani wipe. Clean the screen with just a moist paper towel. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Wish you good health!
