Perhaps I'm just a really strange person, but am I the only one who is really really paranoid of raw stuff? Specifically, raw meat?
Like...I love cooking. I really do. But like...whenever I'm handling raw meat and such...I get really really paranoid. I dunno...whenever I'm making hamburgers, I wash my hands obsessively. Like, I wash my hands after touching the meat...even if all I'm going to do is touch another piece of the meat.
It's so bizarre...pretty much an OCD kinda thing, but yeah...I just get...really, really freaked out by raw meat. Chicken is just as bad. I dunno.
Am I just really, really bizarre?

Yes. Yes, you are.
Although I don't think that has anything to do with anything. I just wanted to say that. ;D

I suffer from this problem as well, actually. I don't find meat disgusting, but I do not like to dirty my hands for very long. Pretty much an OCD symptom. Hopefully we're not the only two with this slight problem.

Howard Hughes called; said you two have something in common. I don't think it's paranoia, btw. To me, we are constantly told about the evils of RAW meat (uncooked, uncensored, and uncut!) hence, you want to be clean all the time. I doubt it's an OCD thing. Just the constant thought of bacteria that can fester and infect you with disease. Hope I helped.

Not really, I don't like touching raw meat but, if I have to cook I prefer to cook red meat . I have some weird fear of raw chicken. I touch it at all, I mean if I have to move it I use a fork and if I have to cut it I wear gloves.

As a microbiologist, I most certainly am not a fan of raw meat. However, I don't need things to be well done either. I eat my steaks medium rare. As long the the outer layer was seared well it is perfectly safe.
Can't say that abouyt hamburger though. That has to be at least cooked to medium well to be safe.

Like if someone comes up to you in the store or whatever and they touch you like your friends and such. That's what I hate.

LITTLE KNOWN MILLIE FACT:
whenever i see or go to touch raw meat of any kind-beef, chicken, turkey...I get freaked out and I know I have to touch it to cook it but I want to vomit cuz it omits a smell that is gross and sometimes I wear these special gloves my brother brought me that he uses to kill seafood at the Red Lobster cuz i get paranoid about touching the meat.....but once its done cooking I tear it apart with my bare hands

Oh yeah, like my steak...yeah, medium rare is amazingly delicious. That's how I like it best. But I just get paranoid of it when I'm cooking it.

Nope. I have no such fears.
Every once in a while, I even try the dog treats. The beef jerky and shit? Oh yeah.....My logic is, if it's good enough for a dog, it's good enough for me. They'd never allow it on the market if it were dangerous. Though, I should rethink that logic in light of recent events.

So, instead.... Let's get cookin'!

I dont eat meat, I'm convinced its not good for you and it causes health problems
I wash my hands after touching money

i dont have that problem.
trained as a chef for two years.... it kind of gets drummed into you to clean your hands after touching raw meat before touching anything else. (by that i mean if all your doing is cutting meat you dont need to clean your hands but if moving on to something else then yeah clean your hands.)
if your cleaning your hands for pretty much anything you might want to seek help for it.
