Fear of walking on dirty floors

Whenever I enter a building the first thing that goes through my mind is "Are the floors clean?" If the floors are stained or has visible dirt it is very hard for me to continue walking. My body tenses up, I start to feel nauseous and I can't concentrate on anything else.

I don't know or at least I haven't heard of anybody else having this issue so I really don't know what to do about it.

This fear keeps me out of certain restaurants, stores, hospitals and it is even starting to interfere with me going to class. I need help. Any ideas?
