Re: Another CFL (compact fluorescent light) question
... The CFLs out today have 1/500th the amount of mercury than the themometer your mom used to put in your mouth as a kid. ...
When I was a kid, I broke at least two of those thermometers in the kitchen sink, just to play with the mercury (if it really was mercury). I'm 46, so were talking about 38 years ago. Thank God I'm still alive and I have no (obvious) defects from it!
