For people who have never seen or experienced barnacles, they stick to boats, propellers, flotsam and even each other, so strong you have to break them with a hammer and chisel or grinder......................

There was an episode of "The Odd Couple" (A Barnacle Adventure) about a barnacle based glue invention.

They use super glue all the time for minor cuts that used to require stitches. I keep some around for that.

But if you use it you are not allowed in several waterways.

They’ve been talking about this for a long time.
Also there was supposedly a whole promising area of antibiotic development that was going to derive from research into how frogs can survive skin lacerations in swampy, bacteria-filled environments. Maybe that will pay off one of these years too.
Anyway, this is good news, I’m not knocking it.
Why wasn’t it developed in China? Or in India? Hmm.

You still have to get it quick and expertly in case of a busted artery.

Many people would be surprised to find out how many “medical miracles” come from natural sources. It’s only “snake oil” if Big Pharma and the AMA don’t get the profits.

Ditto on that - all our med kits have a tube; we were laughed at - once.

Just the ticket on the kitchen knife cuts.

I fell and put a nice gash in the back of my head a few months back. Went to the emergency room and they glued me back together, good as new. No stitches, in and out in no time.
