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.

I am amazed that the mercury in CFLs is getting so much
attention. There has been mercury in all fluorescent lamps since
their inception. If you break a four foot tube there is a lot
more mercury there than in a CFL.
