You'll never lick an envelope again

[mystique]

a few stories about envelopes and licking them for you.

I 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.

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 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.
