Fear of causing harm

I am a veteran of OCD, long struggle and going on still. I have a problem with certain items that might be on my hands or fingers, like oily or greasy and handling certain items like books and paperwork, and electric light switches and so on. It is crippling at times even though I went through years of therapy.
