The reason why you should not worry about the spikes on your skin is because the surface of your skin is made by dead cells.

Otherwise, the thickness of the cellular membranes is small in comparison with virus sizes and spike sizes, so these spikes should rip them apart too.

A mosquito is many orders of magnitude smaller than you, but you should still worry when it comes in contact with your skin, because it is not your size that matters, but only the thickness of your skin.
