Am I the only one with this problem?

Okay, it is summer and extremely HOT here (high 90's). So when I am out and about I am often a bit sweaty. If I talk on the phone with it up to my face, of course the screen gets a little wet, but then the screen gets immediately unresponsive. I often have to hit the power button to turn the screen off, wipe the screen, then turn the screen back on to get it to respond. I can usually hang up the phone okay but can't get back to a different screen or push any other areas of the screen. Is this normal?

A couple of times I have actually had the phone completely freeze on me and had to do a battery pull.
 
I just noticed this today when I was out in the 102 degree day working. I answered the phone and the sweat got on the screen. After the call was over I couldn't hang up. Then after it finally disconnected from the other person hanging up it decided to press the call button and redial the number that just called me. Hitting the power button and wiping it was the only thing that fixed it for me.
