4000 series CMOS is well-protected and requires few if any special handling precautions. If you are not drawing an arc when you touch these chips, you should be okay. For other types of CMOS, Radio Shack sells a handling kit consisting of a conductive foam pad and wrist strap with clip lead. I have found it to be quite sufficient in the dry desert climate of New Mexico. --Ken Carver
