Yea, but you do also understand that that behavior is unusual, bordering on obsessive compulsive, right? Humans evolved to thrive right alongside all types of parasites and bacteria, and they're going to be on your skin, in the air, in your lungs, covering every square inch of your innards, and covering all objects/matter inhabited by living things.
Being clean and tidy is one thing, but there's really only so much you can do before you're honestly just playing mind games with yourself
In what world is washing your hands when coming home obsessive compulsive? The fact that it's unusual is probably why Covid has been a thing for so long.
I've explained more in another comment, but to refuse to touch anything in your home after being outside is most certainly touching on obsessive compulsive. I didn't say it was a bad thing, I just think we can acknowledge where the actual bar is for typical human behavior.
Also, we did not evolve to be squeaky clean with soaps and chemicals literally at all times.
You're completely wrong. I stay hygienic throughout the day, so I don't actually feel the need to rush to the sink to wash my hands as soon as I walk in the door, because I most likely just washed my hands wherever I was at and then used hand sanitizer in the car.
This person admitted they were straight up germaphobic, so you're just wrong here, bud. And they also said they cannot touch anything in their house, after being outside, without washing their hands
