Touched a mic with my lips today for split-second at wrk what are the chances of getting something bad i'm not the only one to do that so am curious.

Don't worry : Our hands touch unclean stuff all day and unknowingly touch our face and even food and lips. The Common cold is commonly transferred from hand to mouth or respiratory drops from people sneezing. We live in an environment full of bacteria and viruses. Stay healthy and your immune system can handle the daily exposures behind the scenes, including your lips touching a microphone.
