What do you have a fear of touching with your bare hands?

Used tissues 

Anything sticky

Same here.

Used syringes and bodily fluids are something I won't go near.

Working in a vet clinic exposes you to,,, a lot. Tape worms are my no no.

Chicken is the worst for this... 

Uh, mold... is one thing. I am of the strict belief that anything coloured in such alarming and unusual ways is not of this planet and should stay away from me at all costs  Plus... why does it look... hairy!!!! Nooooo

Literally anything outside of my own house.

I’ve worked with patients before, but physical contact is something I really struggle with. The moment my skin touches someone else’s, I instinctively pull away—it makes me squirm or feel this deep discomfort, almost like a jolt inside I can’t control.

It’s not a “fear” but I don’t like touching greasy/messy food. I’ll either use a napkin or a fork  

[ExplosionMare 21,396]

I hate touching anything that's gonna smell on me later like yogurt. Cannot stand that smell!

Especially when you opened that annoying lid and the liquid spilled over your shirt.

The hand rails at public places, those are pretty scary

I don’t know if I’d call it a fear, but ohhh I hate picking up cinderblocks and bricks. I hate how dry and rough they feel when rubbing against your hand, I’ll go out of my way to wear gloves just to avoid that.

Pine Sap:  

Given I camp and  gather wood from the local woods, I tend to get pine sap on my hands.  That stuff is sticky as h^ll and hard to clean off....

Blood or other bodily fluids.

Unless they're mine, then it doesn't really matter to me.

That's not exactly fear, it's just sense.

... this is actually something im not too squeamish about, for better or worse :3 i don't wanna hold bodily waste, obviously, or like scalding hot anything~

i guess if I can avoid it i don't want lard on my hands since it's rlllyy ANNOYYYANNOYYYYIINNGGGGh to wash off  i bake so i use it somewhat regularly  

[KPackratt 702]

Raw meat, foods I don't like, and used tissues from people other than myself.

When I'm at work, stuff on the ground. Then I have to wash my hands !

Same here! Sometimes I wish I didn't have to touch anything at work 

[V3ng34nc3 37]

It's not fear but pretty much anything that's sticky.. I can't even use lotion. I wash my hands every 2 seconds while cooking

Nope. Very hands on. Maybe to a fault. Still got all my fingers though a couple of them have taken a bruising.

[ZiggWheelsManning 13,169]

Anything in the local dump
