I went to go play at an open mic at this music shop. I felt a bit clumsy(more so, my anxiety was making me shake so I tried moving around while playing). Alot of people played before I did. Now this is what is worrying me... I bumped into the microphone and my mouth touched it. I am a bit on edge as I keep hearing on the news about the flu and pneumia(spelling?). I was already on antibiotics for 10 days because I went to the doctor and he told me I had bronchitis, I'm worried that could turn into something worse since my mouth touched the mic. When I got back home, I immediatly washed my face and brushed my teeth. This is probably dumb to worry about... anyone else get anxiety over stuff like this?

I think you will be okay. gargle with some warm salt water, eat a good balanced meal and drink plenty of fluids. How did your playing go? In the future why don't you take some of the antiseptic wipes and wipe the microphone before you play?
