The last time we visited I wrote an article for Daisy about my different first aid kits that I created built on my experience as an Army medic. And she let me know an important item I forgot.

How to use some of the less common items.

There are a lot of items in the kits. Not all may be things everyone is used to. So Daisy asked me to do a series of articles that cover:

• When do you need to use this item?

• How do you use this item?

• What are some warnings about using this item?

In the basic kit, you see basic items. One that stands out is Super Glue.  Let's start with that one.

Note from Daisy: The information provided here is for entertainment purposes. You should always seek appropriate medical care. This does not take the place of medical advice nor are any of the writers or editors doctors.

When do you use that super glue from your first aid kit?

Super glue is one of the greatest inventions. It will bond almost anything. Army Medics and Navy Corpsman were the first to ever use it in the field,  during the Vietnam War. They glued more patients back together than they sewed. Placing a standard interrupted suture for every stitch you make two new wounds – two new avenues of infection. Super glues eliminated that route of infection
