is it true that you can use elmer's glue to close a wound as a first aid? isn't it toxic and does it really work? i'm trying to decide if i should have a small bottle in my first aid kit during trail rides. TIA.

Alternative solutions for closing wounds:
1. Hun-Nam-Pe-Yoh powder - used for closing deep wounds
2. Pan-Tai-Chit powder, watermelon powder or other similar throat powders - sore throat, lip cracks, tongue cracks, singaws
or
3. the age-old solution used by Shaolin monks in closing wounds...
use the powder from the burnt incense sticks. The powder acts as a solidifier in case you need to close the wound fast as a first aid.
1 and 2 are available in Chinese medicine stores
3 available in temples but not good idea to get them there lest you anger the gods... better go buy a P5 stick, burn it at home and keep the powder
I wouldn't want to use glue if I were you... for the simple reason that they are not guaranteed sterile and non-toxic.

When there's nothing else available, for small cuts with persistent bleeding, we would put tobacco from a cigarette. I know, it has a lot of harmful chemicals, but if the bleeding doesn't stop... well. Just be sure to clean it with betadine and put a bandage over it afterwards.

why not the super glue kind like mighty bond...
I've seen it at "Dog Soldiers"
hehehehe...
just kidding...
seriously...is there such kind used in wounds???
I'm a sort of healer, thats why I just let it bleed to flush the dirt and some bacteria and then leave my bodies natural clotting capability to do its work...or sometimes raise the part bleeding if posible like wounds at the arm, hands, foot...(just higher than the level of the heart).

Ultramarathon runner Dean Karnazes, called by outside magazine as "Ameraca's Greatest Runner" who ran 50 marathons in 50 days in 2006 swears by it. He wrote 12 tips on this article: www.wired.com/wired/archive/15.01/ultraman.html"8. LEARN TO LOVE KRAZY GLUE If something goes wrong – and it inevitably will – it's usually with Karnazes' feet. In races and on training runs, he has battled giant, foot-devouring blisters. A surprisingly effective treatment: Krazy Glue. Pop the blister, slather the wound with the super-adhesive, and voilà – your foot is ready to take a beating again. The glue acts as a kind of indestructible second skin and has helped Karnazes finish competitions he wouldn't have otherwise. (Officially, Krazy Glue recommends avoiding all contact with skin.)" |

hi, just had a big knife wound last week (serrated blade folding knife). the medic use something called "Dermabond" to close the wound instead of sutures.. it would have been like 5-6 stitches if not using it. my 2 cents. thanks.

whoopi, seems like the wound is big you need to use super glue on it? can't you use band-aid instead? Yep super glue ( or mighty bond ) was used in the Vietnam war to treat big wounds. It was supposed to seal chest or stomach wounds while in transport to prevent blood loss. Don't tell me you bleed that much. hehe |

While I was in Bataan a long time ago, I suffered a deep cut on my hand. This old man who was with us chews some tobacco and puts it on the wound. Needless to say the blood stopped. Why? Beats me but I sure hope he brushed his teeth that morning. ;D |

There was sterile superglue used for closing surgical wounds before. I forget the name. It worked alright and was colored blue. As is usual with the pharmaceutical industry in this country it disappeared from the market.
