I wouldn't be able to get over it either. I still jump over spots where I know cats have puked at my gran's house--- over six years ago it may have happened, but I can't stop the feelings.

You fear contamination from any object which you touched after you sit in your parents car. I have similar problems as I too fear contamination and when this occur I feel anxious, disgusted and sick. I perfectly know what are your feelings. My thoughts are a bit more bizarre as I feel that some objects are able to influence negatively my mind and my perception of the reality. For example if I see a black or white stain on a window I fear to have that stain on my eyes or pressed in my mind forever and that I will see the world like a blind person. This and other insane thoughts are torturing me for 10 and more years now. I'm trying to ignore such thoughts but it is a very difficult task.
