Burnt out another MH, why?

[KrazyKuch]

quick question when you install your bulbs do you wear gloves???Because the oil's on your fingers that you will put it on the bulb and it will cause a heat spot on the glass and cause premature burn out!!!

I normally just use a paper towel or hanky something like that.

Just using paper towel as well.

If I think I touched the bulb would wipe with alcohol but don't remember touching this last one.
