Welcome new friend I think all of us on this site understand where you are coming from. All of us on here have this phobia and to the extreme. I don't have children yet and my husband doesn't want any until I overcome this because he doesn't want our children seeing me this way. I freak out and get all crazy when I know someone is sick whether or not I've been around them or not. He doesn't want me passing my ocd's down to our children. Therapy is something my husband threatens me with and I always tell him it wouldn't work mainly because i'm not sure i can be cured or even want to Deep down we all want freedom from this but yet we hold on to it like it's a security blanket and we act like it keeps us from getting sick and to a degree it may sometimes keep us from getting it because we are over cautious and we fight it with our minds. If therapy is something you think could help you I say go for it. As far as your child goes I think letting her be a kid is going to be best. You may have to bite your tongue sometimes and let her go play in the dirt and then eat a cookie or something (maybe not to the extreme but you get the idea) just to get her used to not being so ocd...once her and yourself see she didn't get sick from it then maybe you both can relax a little bit more.
