They use super glue all the time for minor cuts that used to require stitches. I keep some around for that.
I recall articles in 1970s Popular Science how the study of barnacle glue.
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.
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.
it appears gorilla glue may have competition...
I’ve been using crazy glue for decades.
Democrats need that barnacle glue on their lips.
It sounds great but Im not going to get my hopes up until it actually hits the market. There was a product that I had read about quite a few years ago that was going to revolutionize first aid and save all kinds of lives. It was basically a type of people caulk. It supposedly sealed wounds instantly and had a pain killer in it too. They couldnt get approval for people right away but it was guaranteed to be available soon. Until then they could sell it to vets for use on horses.
15+ years and never heard of it again.
I could have used that this morning. Got out of bed and went to walk my German Shepherd. Before I was out the door she saw a squirrel and took off. I was attached to her with the leash. She pulled me off the stairs and onto a pile of sheet metal. I guess I was lucky to only get seven stiches but having some of that glue would have saved a trip to the hospital.
