See a psychiatrist: Most people don't like germs since they bring a potential for illness. However, they are all around us. If a person is preoccupied with worry about germs, it suggests that they may have an obsessive compulsive disorder or perhaps another mental condition. In any case talking to a mental health professional is a good idea.

No one really likes: germs. If your fear or loathing of them is excessive you may need psychological support. Does your behavior or toward germs keep you from going to work or school, or does it rob you of your peace of mind a relative comfort? Peace and good health.
