Don't Lick Envelopes

> A woman was working in a post office in California .One day
> she licked the envelopes and postage stamps instead of using

> 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 cockroach crawled out!!!!There were cockroach 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 Andy Hume
