    Might save an ER visit.

    They used it in 'Nam and I have used it but it ain't the best idea. Super Glue is Cyanoacrylate and it creates an exothermic reaction when curing which can damage tissue. It also releases cyanoacetate and formaldehyde. Much better to just keep a form of super glue made for wound closure on hand. Like veterinary glue or SurgiSeal or Dermabond.

    Btw, trivia: Super Glue was discovered by Kodak labs while they were looking for a high clarity acrylic for gun sights. It didn't work for that purpose but they discovered it was a fast curing, strong adhesive.

    Little cheaper at that link. But it wouldn't be a bad thing to keep 1-2 on hand at either price. The ER charged me $500+ to rinse out a wound and superglue it back together.

    These might be a better compromise.
