Reminds me of an episode in the Invader Zim cartoon series, where Zim ordered a pair of germ-detecting goggles, and was able to see for the first time how millions of germs were crawling over everything he looked at or touched. He became hysterical at the unhygienic nature of his environment, and started spraying an anti-bacterial solution everywhere, but as soon as he stopped, the germs rapidly multiplied and came back in full strength. It was very traumatic for him.
