A member asked:
Can you catch hiv or a std if you never take baths, she has a phobia she's scared of the tub and she's been like this forever?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sounds like this: person has a phobia, an irrational fear. I'm sure it is not pleasant for her. Her best choice is to see a clinical psychologist who works w/phobias to help her. Clinical hypnosis, systematic desensitization, and other treatments can help. Peace and good health.
