[quote=hrafnkell]cyanoacrylate (tonnatak / sekúndulím) var upphaflega hannað til að nota til að loka sárum, þannig að það er ekkert eitrað. Bara ekki líma munn saman og loka nefinu

Ekki get ég verið alveg sammála þér þar, formúlan kemur frá vinum okkar hjá Kodak og var fyrst uppgötvuð á tímum seinni heimsstyrjaldarinnar.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanoacrylate]Cyanoacrylates were invented in 1942 by Dr. Harry Coover and Fred Joyner of Kodak Laboratories during experiments to make a transparent plastic suitable for gun sights. Although not appropriate for the gun sights, they did find that cyanoacrylates would quickly glue together many materials with great strength. Seeing possibilities(

http://www.straightdope.com/columns/rea ... in-vietnam]The use of cyanoacrylate glues in medicine was considered fairly early on. Eastman Kodak and Ethicon began studying whether the glues could be used to hold human tissue together for surgery. In 1964 Eastman submitted an application to use cyanoacrylate glues to seal wounds to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Soon afterward Dr. Coover's glue did find use in Vietnam--reportedly in 1966 cyanoacrylates were tested on-site by a specially trained surgical team, with impressive results.

...in 1998 the FDA approved 2-octyl cyanoacrylate for use in closing wounds and surgical incisions, and in 2001 approved it for use as a "barrier against common bacterial microbes including certain staphylococci, pseudomonads, and Escherichia coli" (reference 2). This latest incarnation was marketed under the name Traumaseal as well as the more popular Dermabond.

Is it safe to use ordinary household cyanoacrylate glue as a medical glue? According to Reference 7, most cyanoacrylate glues not designed specifically for medical use are formulated from methyl-2-cyanoacrylate, since it produces the strongest bond. Not only can such glues irritate the skin, during polymerization they can generate significant heat, to the point of causing skin burns.[/quote]
Það er samt full ástæða til að fara varlega og anda ekki of miklu af líminu að sér, talað er um að 5% manna geti, við ítrekaða innöndun myndað flensulík einkenni og húðofnæmi við snertingu. Og í einstaka tilfellum getur innöndun valdið astmakasti!
Svo er líka hægt að búa til eld með vænum skammti ef
