Never say "never":

I have made frequent use of MKH mikes for nature recordings, both the 20s i=
n stereo pairs and quad arrays, and the 50/30 and 40/30 pairs in MS. Haven'=
t had one fail yet due to temperature and/or humidity.

BUT: when recording while walking along the embankment of an overhead-elect=
rified commuter railway in rural Pennsylvania, I heard a <crack> from my MK=
H40, then silence.

It went back to the factory for repair.

No mike (or other recording gear) is perfect. Find the most dependable gear=
 you can, then have backup provisions.
