I'm kind of fifty-fifty.

It would depend on what someone did. Like, if they sneezed in their hand I wouldn't touch it, and I wouldn't let anyone borrow my guitar if I knew they did anything with their hands (like cheesymitten's brother), but otherwise I'm okay. There are some things that are just absolutely awful for me to see, though.

I can't look/be near someone's vomit without feeling nauseous. I can't clean it up, either. I guess there are some people who wouldn't care about cleaning it up, they'd just do it, but I wouldn't be able to >_>

Who wants to touch something that just came out of someone's stomach?

And I always wipe down the public toilets. I carry Germ X a lot, but I don't use it much.

No, I wouldn't consider myself one. I don't really think of where other people's hands have been or what else has touched the surfaces I am touching. It just doesn't really occur to me to worry about it. I don't like to get sick - and I especially don't like to vomit or feel nauseous - but I'm not really a germophobe.

I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I'll go to it laughing.

Yeah, I'm really afraid of germs, so before I take that handshake, I lick their hand to clean it first.

STORY. OF. MY. LIFE. FFFFF. I hate germs, dirt, all that stuff. I don't like to be touched, and I always have hand sanitizer with me. I haaaate being around someone who just sneezed, and omgomgomg especially if they didn't cover their mouth or sneezed right into their hands or something.

If someone tried to shake hands with me after they just sneezed into it, I'd chop that damn hand off. >_>;

I do not consider myself to have any sort of germ phobia. However I do have a healthy respect for what they CAN do, therefore I do try to wash my hands before eating if I can. Other than that, no I don't fear them, I have faith enough in the strength of my immune system to keep most of the nasties out.

The only time I act germ-o-phobic is usually when I'm already under the weather, which for me is a very rare occasion indeed, and the only reason for that is to avoid giving the cold/flu/whatever-it-is to another person.

If I've just seen someone sneeze into their hand before moving to shake my hand I'll call them on it. That's disgusting. XD; At least do it discreetly so I don't notice.

But yeah I don't really care much. I've been a little more careful in recent years but I'll still share food and drink with friends, handle money and then go to eat a sandwich, etc. I have hand sanitizer somewhere but I never remember to use it. :(

I'm not afraid of germs to the point where it has a significant affect on my lifestyle, but if someone were to sneeze/cough into their hand and offer me a handshake, I'd obviously refuse. You don't need a phobia to know that that is just gross.

If the sneezing thing happened, I don't think I'd wanna touch that person. ^^;
But I'm not afraid of most dirty things. The last time I disected an owl pellet, I ditched the tweezers and used my hands. Then again...xD
I'm also not very afraid of putting my hands in dirt, if that's what dirty means. xD
