If you break a CFL bulb in your living room, simply open the windows for 15-20 minutes, turn off the heat and leave the house. Go for a drive or something, or just stay in your car with the engine and heat on. When you return, the highly toxic components of the bulb may or may not still be in your house. You must vacuum and, if possible, hand-wash the living room and possibly the entire house very carefully. This should help keep you warm as your house reheats itself. With all burners on “FULL” this should take less than an hour.
It’s a small price to pay for the beauty and simplicity of one of those expensive, ugly, ineffective, headache-inducing “energy saving, environmental” bulbs!
