About other hazards, you are supposed to do all kinds of shit, including not beig fat, not drinking too much and not smoking, but who listens? Some bulbs are very marginal issue. And don't break those.

" What if I can't follow all the recommended steps? or I cleaned up a CFL but didn't do it properly?
Don't be alarmed; these steps are only precautions that reflect best practices for cleaning up a broken CFL. Keep in mind that CFLs contain a very small amount of mercury -- less than 1/100th of the amount in a mercury thermometer. "
