Dealing with Germ Sensitivity

anyone else ever get very sensitive to germs or other people touching/interacting with your things? sometimes I would rather people don't, except for family, other times I don't really mind it. the same goes for hugs and things. -i usually end up disinfecting a lot of stuff like sensory toys that I take to friends places for this reason.[[ speaking of which-- is there any physical way to disinfect thinking putty-?]]

Yeah I've got the same thing! Germaphobia! It's kinda particular.

Hand sanitizer kills germs really easily, as long as you don't mind your putty getting softer. Also if it has color, it will temporarily transfer to your hands, but as long as you keep mixing until fully combined, it will come off. And can also come off by washing your hands with soap and water

Germaphobia sounds more OCD related to me, but I’m not a doctor lol. I get that too tho
