I was told a while back that the whole reason super-glue came to be was for use in the field for sealing open wounds.
I have been told by a few makers that they use it to seal cuts. So the other day I covered the top of my knuckle with it after I managed to grind part of it off (just the skin).
It has heeled very fast since it hasn't had to try to seal itself over and over again being on my knuckle (constantly bending).
But my neighbor that's an EMT freaked out saying that I was putting toxic chemicals into my body.
Now of all people I should know this, but is this super-glue trick a bad thing to do?
I have some of that New-Skin stuff now, and it feels just the same as super-glue.
I suppose I should have read some labels before I posted this, but I just thought I'd get some other makers' knowledge on it.
Thanks,
Nick
