Mysophobia
Mysophobia is the excessive dead of dirt and germs. This condition would make people engage in constant hand-washing, extremely thorough cleaning, and even avoidance of situations or things that are perceived as filthy. In some cases, this phobia might be associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Normally, you will see these people avoiding any physical contact with others due to the fear of contamination, excessive obsession with media coverage about illness outbreaks, and overuse of disinfectants. They might also avoid those areas where bacteria would present like pharmacies, schools, airplanes, and doctor’s offices. [10]
