I went in for actupuncture and I noticed the flourscent bulb that was
flush in the ceiling had fabric over it. I asked the actupuncturist about it
and he told me they contain mercury and are toxic. He said some people
are really sensitive to them and that he put the fabric over it as protection. This was the old flourscent type long bulb, and he warned me about the new spiral ones.

Marketing them to us is a disgrace.

I like this Texas Senator on the video--he makes a lot of sense-- and thanks, Soapweed for bringing this
to our attention. Luckily, I haven't replaced many bulbs with them, but
DARN IT, I have purchased a big box to have them at the ready as
the old ones burn out. Making a return trip to the store...
