From since we are kids, getting dirty is something that is almost a pass time. Our parents try to keep us and our clothes clean in vain, because after washing our hands frequent times, we gather ourselves and go right back to our dirt piles. As we grow older, the fascination of playing with dirt is often left behind and we live our lives with a renewed sense of cleanliness. For some people, however, a germ phobia prevents normal life from occurring. This germ phobia is also referred to as mysophobia and can be directly associated with a fear of dirt.
Mysophobia is not only being scared of germs it's a lot more. Mysophobia is the fear of any substance that may contain germs or cause a contamination. The person has a germ phobia can often be noticed washing their hands over and over again, in order to get rid of any germs they have come into contact with.
When the germ phobia was first recognized, it was incorrectly associated with the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder need to wash the hands over |
