After discovering that a fellow germaphobe had committed a germaphobe code violation, I conducted a one-question interview with him by asking him how he became the germaphobe that he is.
His response: "I used to get sick a lot and I used to wonder why. Ever since I became more mindful I rarely get sick. After those humble beginnings I evolved into what I am today, which is someone who is almost hypersensitive to displays of bad germ etiquette. When people cough in my direction, I momentarily hold my breath."
While I didn't become this way due to frequent illness, I have noticed that I get sick a lot less since I also became hyperaware of those committing germ violations all around me and then avoiding them.
