I'm a mysophobiac (germ freak, afraid of things being contaminated) and I hate it because I wash my hands constantly and I go through a bottle of handsanitizer each day, and I don't trust people with my food or drinks (or anything along those lines)...does anybody know how to cure phobias? I'm desperate

like you, i have this fear too, it's called OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder).
You need to see your doctor and he/she will refer you to a cognative behavioural therapist.
What these therapist do is they change your thought patterns so you wont think like this anymore and help you overcome the negative thoughts and fears that you have.
Have a look at this website, it will give you more information.

If it bothers you, see a pychologist or a psychiatrist. They can help you out.
And if it helps, remember that your body has tons of natural defenses to protect you. And some bacteria are good!

Professional help can help you get over your phobia. Phobia's can't really be "cured" but they can be suppressed to the point where they are basically not there. Best thing to do is to see a professional on those sorts of things. Hope it gets better!
