This is a perfect example of just because you see it on Google, it doesn't necessarily mean it's true. For example, there are numerous mentions of the word 'germaphobia' when you do a search for it, but you'll notice that it's all from message boards, home pages, and other such sites.

If you search legitimate reference sites you'll see that there are a few phobias relating to germs. They are mainly spermatophobia, verminophobia, spermophobia, and nosocomephobia.
