I've devopled a fear of Water

I think I have Health related Anxiety or OCD and such. I read about some super rare brain eating amoeba and been living the past weeks in fear of all water. I panicked because the mouth washing cap and cup the rim was a bit damp and touched my nose and I panicked blowing my nose and drying it with dry toilet paper. I feel to scared to wash my hands or even drink water. Even knowing the chances are less than 1% and borderline 0 in with treated water in my house I still can't stop thinking of all the what ifs. I've had bad habits of constantly searching all the what ifs. Even when those what ifs say "No you can't get it from that" I still feel panicked and on edge around water. And Now I am dehydrated most days cause of it. I keep thinking all these stupid what ifs.

I am seeing a therapist and such I hardly bring it up to them as they tell me its so rare and since I do not go to lakes and rivers or anything that it can have i shouldn't worry. I'm dealing with alot of stuff right now that is way more personal they help me with though.

I ask for advice on this because it seems so tangible and so easy to get over but I just can't. Any advice would help me alot.​

When the best game I've played all year is about to underperform and the studio will probably be closed down in 2 years because the games they make are too niche
