I am incredibly frightened of pocket lint. I know that this sounds strange and it's serious for me because where I work, I have people that give me change and such from their pockets and I almost have a panic attack when lint is included. Is there anyone who can offer some advice for dealing with this?

I feel that the lint is too personal and it grosses and horrifies me to touch it.

this is called object phobia, a kind of specific phobia.
you should really see a psychologist for it,it is simple and can be treated by various ways(drugs,psychotherapy),successive approximation or shaping of behavior will be a good start.

Face it heard on.
Look at it. Touch it. Deal with it.

Ask them to clean their change before handing it to you.

Face your fear directly and realize that fear is false evidence appearing real.
