Millions of Americans suffer from germaphobia (technically called mysophobia). Donald Trump is a self-proclaimed “clean-hands freak.” Celebrities like Howie Mandel, Gwyneth Paltrow, Lisa Rinna and Tom Cruise (to name a few) also take extreme precaution to avoid unnecessary human contact and keep everything hospital-grade clean.
