That’s funny that you mentioned to tape the contacts because I had one in my pocket one time when we went into Texas Roadhouse & the contacts got against a quarter in my pocket & my leg got very hot & I started to do “The watermelon Crawl”. Needless to say I laid it on my tray. I was always told to dispose of them to the fire dept. At least when I lived in Ohio the Fire Dept. we’re always glad to take them & dispose them.
