Germophobia?: There have been many questions from a 20 year old female in Bulgaria, all showing abnormal fear of infection and contamination. That's you, right? This is a mental health problem called germophobia, a form of OCD. It can lead to very serious disability. (For an excellent example, see the movie "The Aviator", the biopic about billionaire Howard Hughes.) You need professional counseling. Good luck!
