I have had the medical grade super glue in my first aid kits for maybe 15 years. I have used it twice, both for moderate lacerations on others, away from town that would have usually required a few stitches. (Full disclosure, I think people get stitches as a knee jerk reaction. I probably should have had 40--50 in my life, instead, I have 3 small scars in non-obvious places just because I wrapped it and kept the site clean) I have had one injury I do wish I'd had proper care for. This Jan, snorkeling in Cabo. Sliced my big toe on some coral. Way into the muscle, close to the bone. Swam for an hour, walked up the beach 100 yards, through the sand, to my chair. Blood trail behind me the whole way. A few minutes later my Dad said, "look at your toe". I was kinda pulsing blood. I cleaned it out the best I could with vottled water. Wrapped it tight, called it good. This was days later, and looked the same 2 weeks later. Sand still coming out of the wound. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/131927.jpg) It is June and random sand still emerges from that toe.

A good start for many would be to enter wound care in the search box on You Tube. Some excellent presentations from professionals. Or you can just buy some tourniquets and a jug of super glue and go full bubba.  mike r Improper use of a tourniquet could cost a limb or worse, kill your patient, if you don’t know how to properly use one. I’m a good field medic. I even carry a 5 mil bottle of Lidocaine for suturing. Mucho better than saying “here, take a long pull on my whiskey flask and hold still”.....Grins 😎 5 ml of Lidocaine? Dammit, man, I want 30 mg of morphine sulphate! I am in pain.

Leave it on too long and not loosen to allow some blood flow to tissue.

That's kinda old school isn't it? They're not teaching that no more.

In a pinch, black pepper will stop bleeding.
The finer ground, the better.
A friend uses it on horses and cows, he does a lot
of cutting on them that most would call a vet for.
He does the pepper on himself also.
I always wondered if it worked, and if it stung as bad as I thought it might.
Cur my finger good and deep one day, it just wouldn't stop bleeding.
I knew tapeing it would be ok, but had to stop the leak.
So, thinking of Jimmy, I dumped some pepper on, and pushed it in.
Those questions?
Yes, and Ahh Fuuuuuuuuk! Yes!
Lasts a minute or to also.

Cyanoacrylate has been used in medicine as far back as the Korean War. I had retired Army surgeons tell me they used used it. It worked but "left some big scars". Used in MASH units and to close up skin in the first order emergency treatment.

Cabo is not a snorkeling destination. You fish in Cabo.. and drink.
