Don't know if these are true
but.............
but.............
used to work for an envelope company. Our plant supervisor used to
work in
the Chicago plant and told us not to lick the envelopes because
they would
often find dead rats at the bottom of the glue barrel (after
thousands of
envelopes had been glued and shipped).
EEWW!
------------------------------------------------------
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 that
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. Her tongue
was
not sore or anything. A couple of days later, her tongue started
to
swell more, and 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.

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.
Have a nice day, & keep
your tongues where they belong!
