Anxiety: Irrational Thoughts

Hi guys as you know I’ve suffered with health anxiety for around a year now and have had irrational health worries throughout but i just don’t know what do anymore I try my best to think logically for example I ate some biscuits that had been in my room for a couple of days I’m now convinced I’m going to get a fever get very ill and die. Even though I know it’s ridiculous doesn’t make any sense? I just can’t stop it another example I went to the mechanics for my brother today he needed to look at my phone i passed it over to him and I noticed obviously because he’s a mechanic he has oil and dirt petrol all over his hands I then went home washed my hands a few times as well as phone but was still convinced I was going to become ill from ingesting whet was on his hands. Every time I try to be logical or my family it never works it makes jo difference I’ve been to therapy twice now and that didn’t help it either is there anything else I can do or any advice for me it would be much appreciated.

For whatever reason thinking logically Judy doesn’t make a difference I’ve tried ever so hard but seem to be getting nowhere
