Please don't read this while eating anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This girl was really in a hurry one day so she just stopped off at a Taco Bell and got a taco and ate it on the way home. Well, that night she noticed her jaw was kind of tight and swollen. The next day it was a little worse, so she went to her doctor. He said she was just having an allergic reaction to something and gave her some cream to rub on her jaw to help.

After a couple of days the swelling had just gotten worse and she could hardly move her jaw. She went back to her doctor to see what was wrong. Her doctor had no idea, so he started to run some tests. He scrubbed out the inside of her mouth to get tissue samples, and he also took some saliva samples. Well, he found out what was wrong. Apparently her taco had a pregnant roach in it - and she ate it!!!! The eggs then somehow got into her saliva glands and she was incubating them! They had to remove a couple a layers of her inner mouth to get all the eggs out. If they hadn't figured out what was going on, the eggs would have hatched inside the lining of her mouth!

She's suing Taco Bell! Of course. For those of you who don't believe this story, the article can be found in the Nov. 19th NY Times.
