FEATURED BOOKS ON PHOBIAS FROM BARNES & NOBLE.COM:

Mysophobia
An anxiety disorder characterized by an overreaction to the slightest uncleanliness or an abnormal, irrational, and intense fear of dirt, contamination, or defilement through touching familiar objects. Defilement means to make unclean or unpure. Mysophobia is also known as rhypophobia. Mysophobia comes from the Greek word "mysos" meaning "defilement," and the Greek word "phobos" meaning "fear." Put the two words together and you have "fear (of) defilement."
