Read this Story ( A True Story )

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 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 ON, TO YOUR FRIENDS.

Atleast After reading this you will never lick an envelope or stamp
containing glue again.
