Fact has it,that superglue was invented by the American Army during Vietnam, to replace stitches. Regular stitches were rotting from the humidity in the area. The government needed something faster sealing that wouldn't rot. That's the story of superglue. Why do you think superglue bonds to skin faster than to any other material?

Modern superglue does have a load of chemicals in it, but not enough where a drop to seal a wound will kill you. Having said that, pour a load of superglue into a swirling pool of tap water and you can make arsnic.
