Thanks for your full comment, but regarding this, it won't work for me, because I don't know what I'm afraid of. I don't think I'll get sick or die, I just feel like I can't touch some things because something will be on me and I can't handle that. Like dust, oil from a person's body, etc. I know these won't hurt me, but somehow, I can't get myself to feel comfortable touching or being exposed to these things.
