Licking Envelopes

[Monkey Mistress]

NEVER to lick the envelopes.

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 ****roach 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

that were already printed and saw several squads of ****roaches roaming
around inside a couple of boxes with eggs everywhere. They eat the glue on
the envelopes.
After reading this you will never lick another envelope or stamp again.

God, that is so disgusting! Eewww!!! I never lick envelopes because I don't want anyone to have my DNA, and now after reading THIS, I have another reason. I'll always stick to a sponge and/or tape.
