Hi. From what you have mentioned, it seems that you are suffering from symptoms of Obsessive compulsive disorder. It is a condition in which you have repeated thoughts, in your case regarding contamination. As a result of which, compulsive repeated behaviour results. Please consult a psychiatrist and get yourself evaluated completely. It is a treatable condition and medications and psychotherapy will help you get better.
Next Steps
Seek a psychiatric consultation.
