STAMPS & ENVELOPES
I work in a factory and we have 2 employees who used
to work in an envelope factory. They told me that when the machine jams up,
they use whatever water is handy to thin out the glue. This includes water they just
mopped the floor with. Since then, I've avoided licking envelopes...
1. 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, but they found nothing wrong.
. A couple of days later, her tongue started to swell more,
it began to get 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 and saw several squads of roaches roaming around inside the boxes.
There were eggs everywhere. The roaches 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 the regular envelopes
PLEASE PASS THIS ON, TO YOUR FRIENDS.
After reading this you will never lick another envelope or stamp ever again
