Mysophobia
Mysophobia, also known as verminophobia, germophobia, germaphobia, bacillophobia and bacteriophobia, is a pathological fear of contamination and germs. The term was coined by Dr. William Alexander Hammond in 1879 when describing a case of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) exhibited in repeatedly washing one's hands. Mysophobia has long been related to the OCD of constantly washing one's hands. Names pertaining directly to the abnormal fear of dirt and filth include molysmophobia or molysomophobia, rhypophobia, and rupophobia, whereas the terms bacillophobia and bacteriophobia specifically refer to the fear of bacteria and microbes in general.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bacillophobia – Fear of microbes )〕
The term ''mysophobia'' comes from the Greek μύσος musos, "uncleanness"〔(μύσος ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus〕 and φόβος ''phobos'', "fear".〔(φόβος ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus〕
