A member asked:

What are the effects of accidentally eating super glue?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually nothing: Other than inconvenience from tissues glued together. Cyanoacrylates are commonly-used surgical adhesives that solidify rapidly upon contact with water (tissues are mostly water). If it truly is an accident the amounts are small and the adhesive would harden nearly immediately and pass through the GI tract without concern! large amounts intentionally ingested might be a different matter.
