Perhaps I was unclear. I'm talking about using non-medical grade glue, which is what I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) the person who mentioned "Superglue" was referring to. Despite having the same active ingredient, it doesn't mean the formulation will be the same or as contaminate free as medical grade glue.

Obviously glue intended for medical use should be safe from a toxicity perspective.

That said, it still seems to beg for contra-indicated use, where someone permanently closes a wound before it has been properly cleaned.

YMMV.
