Well-and I do not know how many of you are aware of this-crazy glue was invented for war-time field surgery to close and seal open wounds. It dissolves and dissipates into the body. Typical OTC crazy glue(s) are a derivative of that product. Not saying that it is the number ONE choice for First Aid. but that it will WORK in case of a bleeding emergency. Mel _____

But glue does have that capability. As far as that problem goes, Super/Crazy Glue is not sold to be used on people, although lots of people use it on themselves. I haven't had any adverse effects pop up. Good thread!! Marsha McDonald Rubino GIMME NAILS @ the Devonshire 37 Fifth St. E.

I use the smallest amount. I know how it burns when it is used in the nails IF the accelerators are used. If the glue was that problematic, wouldn't you think that it would not be approved to be used in the nails?

There is so much information out there on this in amy web browser. Rock climbers use it on their fingertips. The surgical type is almost the same thing. Almost. I had two operations that they used this on my incisions. The only difference is the Dermabond is a bit more flexible. This was also used on my niece with her kidney removal. Her incision was about 7 inches long and no old time stitches. Hospitals apply theirs with a hypodermic type implement. It is not caustic on the skin and does not burn . Years ago, when I was a Dental Lab Technician, we'd use super glue for various applications. We also had an accelerator in a pump spray. If there was an excess of glue & accelerator was used the glue would rapidly bubble (looked like styrofoam), get super hot and SMOKE!! I got the biggest kick out of that stuff! We'd also use it on minor finger cuts.....this was almost 30 years ago. It is easily removed with acetone. I use it on my eczema that will not heal and within about two days the wound starts to close. The glue never cracks. Rather, it will peel over time. Just like the type used on surgical wounds. I would never use it on a deep wound, but on slices, paper cuts and such, it is fine to use on the skin. Primer is much more of a product that would concern me. As for the Q-tips, I feel that it is not sanitary and the cotton will always leave bits stuck on and in the wound. Ask anyone who works in CSI!! ;-) (My aunt does real CSI on the INSIDE and those fibers are a PITA) I guess each of us has their own opinion. I am very comfortable with the way I do things. My clients are never at risk.

Also, nail glue or super glue is caustic and can burn the skin and the fumes can burn mucus membraines. I like using glue to seal a very small nick and I use toothpicks. Yes, a germ will be on the pick but, i dont stick the pick into the glue bottle. I squeeze a little bit of glue onto the toothpick. A QTip is going to shread fuff into the glue and make a major mess. Come on, if we have a wound that needs alot of glue to close, maybe we should have a professional healthcare provider use some skin glue to close the wound. We are not Dr's for G sake.

The instant the Q-tip is taken out of the package and touched, it has germs all over it!!!!!!! That cotton swab is not a better solution. Now the laceration will have whatever I had on my/your hands enter the wound. Or even worse yet, whoever may have filed the Q-tip jar and anyone else who took one out.......

But remember, its not within our scope of practice to treat an open wound. Lynnette, seriously, do you get near open skin with nail polish?!!! We need to think like a doctors office. Do you think they would use a brush on a patient with an open wound and then use it on another patient? The simple solution is to dab the glue on a q-tip and apply the glue WITH the q-tip. But again, its not really our place to treat cuts. We need to use common sense with what seems to be a simple thing. Getting off my soap box now...

Michelle, if you clean it off with acetone it is fine. You would not be using the glue on a cut that is bleeding profusely.
