Electrostatic precautions!!

Electrostatic precautions!!
Hi All,
Just got my Megasquirt and planning to start building it soon.
This is the first time I've ever handled IC's and I'm nervous about the chances of electrostatic damage to them. In my kit these parts are packaged in protective plastic bags etc...
I see all sorts of bits and pieces available to try and stop this kind of damage happening (earthing wrist straps etc...) but wondered if they are really necessary?
Did you use anything like this?
Do I need to?
You're advice will be most appreciated.
