Will you lick to the envelope?

no i dont lick the envelop..there is no glue in the envelop so we have to put paste on it..or tape it..

I don't have to lick the envelope, I just press the send button and it goes where ever I send it. Actually we do use envelopes though only rarely and yes, we do lick them, but we keep ours in a ziplock bag.

I always lick the stamps.Hallmark cards have envrlopes that are flavoried.They are fun to lick.

I used to lick envelopes when i was younger (in my teens), but i don't anymore. LOL! God knows what chemicals in it or how many hands it has passed through. So I am with you on the glue.. I saw my son licking an envelope once and I went berserk! LOL! At that moment, I truly felt like a mom. LOL!

I dont have this bad habit.I will lick envelope that i must post if i do not have a gum.Sometimes i get rush and must hurry so i dont have a time to search a gum.That's why i need to lick my envelope sometimes.I will never do it after this.Thank you for your information.

Cockroch's eggs can be found on the envelop?It sounds terrible.Thank you for telling us about this.I will tell my family and friends.For me,I don't lick the envelop either,just as you,I use glue.But I used to lick the stamps.Did the TV program say somthing about the stamps? I want to know whether the stampts have cockroach's eggs or not.Thank you.Have a nice day!

No, I would never lick an envelope. Previously I would use liquid gum but as you said, the glue stick is much better so I use that now thought its trifle expensive. If nothing else, I would seal the envelope with cello tape but licking I could never do…also you know its quite risky. I mean the amount of gum they put may not be sufficient and with the handling of the post office or courier people, the contents may actually come out. So its better to be safe than sorry. And yes, the glue stick is much hygienic too.

If it's just a few envelopes I've always licked the flap. However, after reading your post, I think I'll stop that habit.

i dont like licking the envelope i use glue to close it so that i know its really close unlike if you lick it. to those people have a habit like this stop uit right now before its too late...

Hi, youless. I do not lick envelopes because aside from being unsanitary, it tickles my tongue in an unpleasant way. It's the first time I heard about the possibility of an envelope having cockroach's eggs but, yes, it does makes sense. And, mind you, not only cockroach's eggs. It can have rat's waste, etc. Have a nice day!

Yes, before, I used to lick when sealing an envelope.LOL! But now I have to use a past of water because of the danger of acquiring diseases through the envelope, so I am now discarding that habit of licking.

It's really terrible.many of these kinds,such as children's toys,have much more bad things.I should tell my son about this.

yeah!!! ew! anyway when im still in younger years i really used to lick them... but now?1 no way!!!

I think you are right, I agree with you

I did this quite often when I was a little kid. For an innocent kid, we found interesting to do in this way and regardless whether it was hygienic or not! I stopped doing this after my parents told me that the glue on the envelope was dirty and not good for our health, as well as it was indecent to lick it. Since then I tried not to lick the envelope anymore, and use my finger or sponge with water to wet the glue on the envelope before sealing it. Happy posting.

Lucky that I don't have the habit of licking the envelope. Usually I will use water or maybe glue.

I used to lick the envelope till someone sent me an article concerning licking the envelope. The article even had photos on it showing this person's tongue - he/she licked the envelop and didn't realize it got cut by the paper till a few days later and it swell and he/she went for operation...horrible...so from that day onwards I never licked an envelope but put gum on it. Besides I find that putting gum on the envelope seals the letter more secure.

i do not lick the envelope. why should i? there are a lot of ways to stick it. use a paste, a glue or any adhesive. or drop a small amount of water in the adhesive and stick it. i would rather do these things than lick it.

I normally get my fingers wet, then wet the glue on the envelope. If I am in a hurry, I will go ahead and just lick it. I doubt that they are as clean as we'd like them to be, but it hasn't killed me yet.

I will only if Im out of scotch tape lol
