Baby, it’s bold outside! Germs may take hold outside.
There’s virus and mold inside. Bacteria glows beside. (Just ask a
bacteriophobe.)
Bacteriophobia is the
fear of germs.
People often call such folks germophobes. Remember Adrian
Monk (played by Tony Shaljoub) in the popular USA Network television series
called Monk?
Folks with this form of fear may worry to an unhealthy
degree about picking up diseases or infections in all sorts of seemingly random
spots. They may make a mountain out of a microbe in their all-out efforts to
avoid any possible risk of contamination.
Germinate on this for a moment. Bacteriophobia has become
super-common lately, particularly with the arising of superbugs and supergerms.
Maybe they’re onto something.
Maybe they’re onto something.
