What kind of feeling is this?
Dear natives, what do you usually feel when you don't want to touch a dirty toilet seat or pick up food from the floor?
And how can such a person be described with an adjective if this feeling is typical of them?

Question

Answer

It depends on the reason for the reluctance. If the person is easily disgusted or nauseated, I'd call them 'squeamish'. If they are very concerned with cleanliness or hygiene, I'd call them 'fastidious'.

Answer

You could also say "grossed out".
