Germaphobe

I am not one.  I do know others that are though.  I know or have known people that bath after they come home from any place.  Refuse to touch public bathroom doors or public transportation hand holds.  I don’t remember seeing hand sanitizer everywhere when I was a kid.  When did we become a society with this fear to touch things or what others might have?  Now, don’t get me wrong.  I’m not mocking those that have a sensitivity to these situations.  I’m sure they’re far cleaner then I and are sick way less then me.  I just wonder how we, or they, got to be this way.  I’m not concerned about what I might touch or catch when I’m out side of the house.  I’m not licking the bus seats and I’m not sneezing in to my hand and then shaking others.  But it’s not a concern for me.  I think I place most blame on the media for it’s fear mongering.

Are you concerned about touching things when you’re out of your house?
