DO YOU LICK YOUR ENVELOPES to seal them shut??
Bet ya won't anymore!!!
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.

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
