it did stop the bleeding though.

Aye, cauterisation will do that

super glue after all was 'designed' for gluing skin

Actually it was designed for gun sights and jet cockpits. Medical superglue is not the same as DIY superglue. The latter contains a chemical that creates heat to set the glue and isn't ideal for use on wounds as it may cause burns. Alas, as I've already demonstrated, it's pretty good at bonding me to things.

The other 'issue' with non-medical superglue is that it contains a hydrogen cyanide variant compound. I have become very allergic to it (due to my time as a silversmith - where it is used in the gold & silver plating process) but it is - of course - extremely toxic.

Thanks for the additional info, that's one urban myth I won't continue to fall for
