[Harp-L] Harp Jam Mic Sharing?

[AV1901@xxxxxxx]

I'm sure all would agree that sharing harps is a no-no for hygiene reasons. 
 
I'm looking for some thoughts from the list concerning harp *mic* sharing. 
 
Specifically, at electric blues jams when I'm in the house band, should I  be 
squeamish about loaning my bullet type mic to another player? I've tried to  
hold to a -yes, you can use my rig, but you've got to provide your own mic-  
stance, and I've gotten strange looks at times from jammers. 
 
Seems like when I got started going to jams many years ago I always made a  
point to bring my own rig and never expected to use the house band's equipment  
to play harp. Always felt like it made me seem better prepared and less like 
a  drunk who happened to have a key of C harp..... 
 
I know that when I play, it would not be unusual for a combination of sweat  
& saliva to find it's way into contact with my mic.
 
As I write this I sit at home nursing a bad cold.....
