One day a girl licked the envelopes and postage
stamps instead of using a sponge. That very day the
lady found a cut on her tongue. 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 cockroach 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.

Hey, I used to work in an envelope factory. You
wouldn't believe the....things that float around in
those gum applicator trays. I haven't licked an envelope
for years!' 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 envelopes that were already printed and saw several
squads of cockroaches roaming around inside a couple of
boxes with eggs everywhere. They eat the glue on the
envelopes.


PLEASE PASS THIS
INFO TO YOUR FRIENDS. After reading this you will never lick
another envelope or
stamp.
