I guess you missed reading this-

mercury stored in CFL bulbs is perfectly safe unless the glass is in someway damaged, in which case the bulbs can then emit mercury vapour. If the mercury from a CFL was to escape it would total 6.4mg, a 36% reduction on emissions from an incandescent.

By the way, you have 50 milligrams of mercury in a conventional tooth filling for a cavity.
