These new energy saving light bulbs....?

Most all light bulbs have mercury in them, which is a bad idea on its own. You're not going to die because you've been exposed. Trust me, I've had extreme mercury & lead poisoning (most of us have some toxic metal levels in our system), it will make you wish you would die sometimes, but you can treat the illness or the symptoms if it becomes serious enough. You're not going to die because a light bulb broke. It IS a hle to fix & dispose of a broken light bulb, it's insane what people put in all these things, but hle or not, it's still better the follow the directions. Follow those directions if any light bulb breaks, green or not. (At least that's what I've learned.... the hard way)
