Reminds me of a time where a lab device tipped over and spilled
mercury all over the place.
It was some kind of storage device as I can recall. I gladly left the
room, while some
poor fool had to wipe it up.

Where I have a CFL that gets "bump" exposure (workshop, trouble light)
the CFL is bagged in a freezer grade plastic bag with a tight tape
wrap around the base. Not perfect, but better than a totally exposed
bulb.
