Answers:
The first thing is to find out why you hate shaking hands. Is it because you think that the other person's hands are not clean .? Or is it that you feel that you could catch a disease .? Or do you hate touching another person .?

One way to avoid it is to apologize saying something like your hands are wet with sweat (Some people's hands sweat a lot most of the time)
and keep you hands in your pocket.

I am reminded here of the Indian style of greeting called the "Namaste" which is putting your palms together and holding them in front of you at chest level and saying "Namaste". If you happen to be in india, you can get away with this.

Hope this helps.Health Question & Answer
