Potting would take care of it normally. If the windings and pole pieces are covered in wax, moisture can't get there. Of course, if you poke at the windings on your humbucker with a screwdriver, all bets are off. :)
:D :poke: I'm just imaging Rev Rawk in the pew with an overwhelming urge to go home & poke his windings.:poke: :D

Although I don't sweat a lot there's always the possibility of beer contamination.

But Florida humidity gets into everything.
Your pickup will sweat just about every time you leave the house with it.

Yeah, that's basically what Duncan said to help prevent it is to make sure they're properly potted. BTW, poking your windings with a screwdriver is kinda like checking to see if your gas tank is empty by looking in it with a lit match. :thwap:
