Never lick an ENVELOPE
(Shahzad Shameem, Abbottabad)
BE CAUTION, be careful and
never forget this true Story.
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.
