| has gloss | (noun) a morbid fear of dirt or contamination mysophobia |
| has gloss | eng: Mysophobia is a term used to describe a pathological fear of contact with dirt, to avoid contamination and germs. Someone who has such a fear is often referred to as a mysophobe. The term was introduced by Dr. William Alexander Hammond in 1879 when describing a case of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) exhibited in repeatedly washing ones hands. This phobia is sometimes referred to as germophobia (or germaphobia), a combination of germ and phobia to mean fear of germs, as well as bacillophobia and bacteriophobia. Mysophobia has long been related to the OCD of constantly washing ones hands. However, Harry Stack Sullivan, an American psychologist and psychoanalyst, notes that while fear of dirt underlies the compulsion of a person with this kind of OCD, his or her mental state is not about germs; instead, this person feels the hands must be washed. |

| has gloss | deu: Als Mysophobie (Ansteckungsphobie) wird eine krankhafte und übersteigerte Angst vor Kontakt mit Schmutz oder der Ansteckung durch Bakterien, Viren etc. bezeichnet. Die Angst kann sich auf real existierende Verunreinigungen beziehen, aber auch ausschließlich in der Fantasie der Betroffenen existieren. Die Folge ist ein extremes Meidungsverhalten sowie im Allgemeinen ein Waschzwang bzw. Putzzwang, und unter diesem Namen ist diese Phobie auch in der Umgangssprache bekannt. Diese Phobie wird von Psychologen daher auch als psychische Zwangsstörung bezeichnet. |
