I rarely play with anything higher than a few MHz. The "pill" molded transistors in early TV tuners weren't so robust - they weren't exactly molded as such, they were 2 plastic shells glued together. |

Why do they pack them in anti-static bags (Digi-Key)! They pack *EVERYTHING* in anti static bags - there was a time anti static bags alerted you to the need for special handling. |

All semiconductors need special handling. Usually I just wet my hands and ground myself. That is plenty. Wet hands cant cause static electricity. No other passive components need that (as far as I know). Tubes are safe too. |
