Mysophobia is a mental disorder that causes an affected person to have a massive fear of dirt or otherwise contamination. This is also, informally, called "germophobia". Mysophobia and OCD disorder are commonly mistaken for each other.

Mysophobia, or the fear of germs, refers to an unhealthy fear of contamination. ... However, if you suffer from mysophobia, these normal concerns become overblown. The phobia is common, affecting even celebrities such as Howie Mandel,

hope this helps!
