Mysophobia

Mysophobia is a fear of germs and dirt. It's a type of anxiety disorder that makes someone worry a lot about things being clean and germ-free. People with mysophobia often wash their hands many times a day and may avoid touching anything they think might be contaminated with germs. They may have trouble going out in public and touching things that other people have touched. It's important for people with mysophobia to realize that although germs are everywhere, there are ways to reduce their risk of exposure to them. Simple things like washing hands, wearing gloves, and cleaning surfaces regularly can help make life a little easier.
