The wound needs air in my opinion...........tetanus develops in areas

with no oxygen

And how toxic is super glue in an open wound?

same opinion about hospital glue.

The tetanus shot is poison and so is the antiseptic and so is the local

anaesthetic, but Ihave no idea how they compare with Super Glue!  Probably far

worse! LOL!

 

What a resourceful mother you are Diane. I've used the butterflies but when it

was beyond what I could do with them, I got DS stitched and topped him up with

Vitamin C to offset the toxic effects of anaesthetic. No trouble refusing the

tetanus jab.

I've bought similar stuff at Walgreens...with no problems. No stitches, no

problems with healing.

As Sheri said, I was concerned about the small risk of tetanus if the

wound couldn't breathe. Using the butterfly bandages helped hold the

wound closed without cutting off oxygen to it. Tetanus cannot live

where there is oxygen.

I think if you hold the wound closed you are cutting off the

oxygenation to that wound.

I would clean wounds with H202 because it is like O2. Unfortunately,

it is not the healthiest thing for surrounding cells but I would use

it anyway.

LOL! I would never use super glue for cuts or even have that nasty

stuff in the house eek!!

H202 is peroxide and it comes in diff %... food grade also, if done ,

correctly, it has been ingested. I would never do that. It has many

other uses. Some people use it for yeast infections. cancer,

Cleaning. H202 ends up as water. It can be dangerous.

I should do some research on that oil.

That glue is not natural and healthy. There is no way that isn't

poisonous to the body.

Its your choice

I wouldn't use superglue on an open cut - do you know what is in superglue?

This is more about super glue than stiches. But my sister-in-law's

brother-in-law is an anesthesiologist. Anyway, this year he had a

surgery with a 3 year old that had her eye glued shut with super

glue. The older sibling thought it was eye drops and put it in the 3

year olds eye. They had to surgically remove the eyelid and put a

glass eye in. After hearing this story, I threw out my super glue.
