If you lick your envelopes...You won\'t anymore!!!!
A woman was working in a post office in California.
One day she licked the envelopes and postage stamps instead of
using a sponge.
That very day the lady cut her tongue on the envelope.
A week later, she noticed an abnormal swelling of her tongue.
She went to the doctor, and they found nothing wrong. Her tongue
was not sore or anything.
A couple of days later, her tongue started to swell more, and it
began to get really sore, so sore, that she could not eat. She went back to
the hospital, and demanded something be done.
The doctor took an x-ray of her tongue and noticed a lump. He
prepared her for minor surgery. When the doctor cut her tongue open, a
live cockroach crawled out!!!!
There were roach eggs on the seal of the envelope.
The egg was able to hatch inside of her tongue, because of her saliva. It
was warm and moist... This is a true story reported on CNN.

factory.
You wouldn\'t believe the things that float around in those gum
applicator trays. I haven\'t licked an envelope for years!"
3) To All:
I used to work for a print shop (32 years ago) and we were told
NEVER to lick the envelopes. I never understood why until I had to go
into storage and pull out 2500 envelops that were already printed for a
customer who was doing a mailing and saw several squads of roaches roaming
around inside a couple of boxes with eggs everywhere.
They eat the glue on the envelopes.
I think print shops have a harder time controlling roaches than a
restaurant. I always buy the self sealing type. Or if need be I use a
glue stick to seal one that has the type of glue that needs to be wet to
stick.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON, if you like, TO YOUR FRIENDS.
After reading this you will never lick another envelope or
stamp ever again.
