I was not aware that there was a toxin in regular super glue. You got a

I was going from memory. Googling around finds papers that need an account to read. The
wikipedia article talks about three different types of superglue, one of which is the
recommended one for medical use.

Toxicity is a sliding scale. Fixing a cut is not getting you anywhere close to LD50.

A few years ago, lady at work, cut her palm open while running some forged steel parts on
a lathe. She asked me if I had superglue, I'm a maint tech so she figured I might, she
ran a bead right down the cut and pressed it together with her other hand. That had to
hurt.

She didn't die, hand didn't fall off, just wasn't the best glue for the application.

Gunner would love her, 6' 1", biker girl with a bod. Nice lady to people that treated her
decent, I'd hate to cross her though.

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
