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.
