well i know halogens shatter or explode whatever you want to call it if your skin oils get on em since they burn so hot so i wasnt sure if it was the same for CFLs being on the CAUTION on the back it said dont touch it. thanks for the input everyone

CFL Question i recently purchased a couple soft white 100s they are 26 watts and give off 1700 lumens. i wasnt quite aware of the fact that you shouldent touch the bulbs and when i was putting the first one in i screwed it in touching the bulb the entire time. because of that im guessing its a fire hazard because the oils on your hands can make the bulb explode when it gets hot and i should no longer use that bulb and switch to my other one correct ?
