But truthfully, germs are not my best friend at all. I'm not necessarily germophobic, but I tend to wash my hands a lot when I feel my surroundings are very dirty. Also, I'm very uneasy about somehow being exposed to things that could causes diseases or illness, or just contamination in general. Something that really gets to me, but would probably seem silly to others is that when one just washes a cup, I CAN'T drink out of it. It has to dry first; if it isn't, I feel like there is still dish detergent in the cup and that I'll ingest it if I use it, thus getting poisoned. Another example is: I live in the woods right now with my two friends and two jack russells. The dogs are fairly clean, but since living in the woods, they've had run ins with ticks. My friend Ian has found ticks on him before, but only because he slept with the dogs, but doesn't anymore. When we had a conversation about ticks and lyme's disease one day, I couldn't touch or get close to the dogs for a few days for fear that I'd find ticks on me. And for a few weeks, I went to bed wearing long pants rather than shorts. I could state more examples, but I'd rather not let on to my neuroticism lol.
Anyway, are any other virgos get a little squeamish when it comes to germs or things like that (but not to the point where it's disruptive)?
Hahaha filthy virgo. Ironically, I love to walk around barefoot and get dirty, and I'm not the tidiest of people at times, but when it comes to "contamination," I freak out. But then again, sometimes I think I could be a hypochondriac :p
^lol yeah, I know. I actually don't use hand sanitizer. I never have any around nor do I really care for it. If anything, I run my hands under warm water if I don't use soap. I remember when my roommate caught swine flu (she left the day she got really sick and didn't come back for like 2 weeks), I was washing my hands like 10 times a day, which was a lot even for me. Usually when I'm in a cleaner environment, I don't really care and I rarely wash my hands. But when I'm not, I tend to do it more often, and since living in the woods with people who aren't that clean, I can't help it. There are bugs everywhere, so it really gets to me.
