A man in Wuhan, capital of Hubei province, doesn't like to leave the house without wearing a cap, mask and gloves.

The 23-year-old university graduate began his strange habit after he browsed a pornography website earlier this month. He started believing that everything and everyone is dirty.

He always washes his hands and body each time he returns home because he's worried about catching a sexually transmitted disease from saliva and dust.

Many suggested he make an appointment with a psychotherapist.
