Automysophobia: The Extreme Fear of Getting Dirty
3 November 2009
Automysophobia is the fear of getting dirty. Most people could probably tolerate an amount of dirt in their body, thinking that they can wash that away later. However, automysophobic people don’t feel that way: they get sick, dizzy, nauseated, breathless and even feel get that feeling that they’d rather die than get dirt in their bodies.
People suffering this extreme fear definitely seek psychological help. It surely gets in the way of living a normal healthy life.
