[sdiy] Storing ICs (and static sensitivity) - how much to worry?

[Julian]

Im having a bit of a tidy up at the moment, and have a load of ICs to deal with .

Most of my other components are stored in draw things, a bit like this -

but evrey time i order any ICs at all now, they seem to come in anti-static bags as standard.... so thats got me to wondering if i 
should worry too much about all this in storage?

Somthing ive also wondered - in a conductive bag, surely if theres an issue with static, without proper grounding, the whole lot get 
'zapped' insted of just individuals?  As you may have gathered, i dont know much about this... ! : )
