I just dropped my white labs container into my fermenter while pitching my yeast. How screwed am I?

I thought WhiteLabs made an oopsie, which would be shocking to me.
Even Danstar says to sanitize the package and scissors on their dry yeast sachets.Ha, I had the exact same thought.
Anyways, OP, i agree with those who say you'll probably be ok, and even moreso with those who say you should sanitize the vial before opening, which would reduce the concern if you happened to drop it in the bucket.
Mine are cold when I get them and I keep them cold. Try cracking them while still cold. That should help, but as you say, maybe some are just more prone to it than others.Tried that but on occasions, some vials seem to want to juice out along with any gaz that comes out...
(and I'm not talking about turista) B-)
