Phobia of Geckos - now I have a dried one on my floor and can't clean it up

...See more Hey 7cups, I have irrational fear of geckos. There is this one gecko that unfortunately took residence in my room a month ago. I left it be and hoping it will get away by itself, since there is nothing else I can do. About two weeks ago it died, since it didn't move at all from the spot it was. I tried to sweep it but it was stuck. I tried to scrape it off but it only broke its lower body. That made me nearly hyperventilated. I understand this is a irrational fear but I can't seem to get over it. It's almost a week since that last trial and the body has black spotches all over it now. I can't stand it, writing and thinking about it made me really anxious too. I've lived on my own for 4 years now, and I don't have any friend to call over to help me anyway, I have to deal it by myself. I removed a gecko carcass a few years back, but it wasn't stuck to the floor like this one. Any idea how can I get over this fear?
