Bikram yoga while sick?

I have a cold and was wondering if anyone else practiced while being sick. I'm taking OTC medicine and don't feel that bad while on it so I was wondering if the heat might help me sweat it out. I've seen mixed opinions about it-- one where Bikram says himself that the standing series is good while you are sick, but others say you don't want to spread your germs. It's just the first day and I'm not feeling that crappy and am careful with washing my hands. What do you guys think?

    I missed almost an entire week while sick with a head cold. I wanted to go, figuring the heat would at least help, but I was so congested I couldn't breath properly and was getting light headed from my sinuses, so I figured to err on the side of safety and not risk passing out while in Yoga. The problem with skipping those days, was that it was harder to get started again.
