Are you scared of spending time in public places?
“Warm chairs. I don’t know like I’m sitting on someone’s leftover germs.”
James Brandon
We come across people who suffer from fear of germs imagining that they catch an infection.
These people are terrified when they think of dirt, germs and bacteria and experience disproportionate anxiety.
I can understand the feelings of the people who are on immunosuppressive medication.
Mysophobia/Germophobic
Fear of Germs is known as Mysophobia or Germophobia.
These people go on cleaning their surroundings forever and get exhausted soon.
People even throw newly purchased items into the dust bin thinking that they are contaminated.
These people avoid public places and may take excessive showering and an unimaginable number of hand washing.
Covid further terrorized these people!
It’s said to be a type of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

scary. I once worked with a colleague (back in the 1980s) who was so scared of germs that if anyone drank out of her cup she would throw it in the bin
