Defense: "this was part of routine sexual activity between the couple "

Six months probation ? Not enough if the facts are as stated. If it were indeed routine, they would have had a routine way of removing it.

Normal acetone or toluene based fingernail polish remover dissolves superglue, as anyone who has tried to remove polish from a nail repaired with superglue or the re-labeled with a jacked up price equivalent nail repair product will attest.

This couldn't be nice to have on one's sensitive parts but surely that would be better than having it peeled off. The glue peeled off, that is; having the sensitive parts peeled off would be really bad and get a bigger story as well.

Toluene? Isn't that a terotogen?

A tetragen? I think that's a machine that makes tiny fish that glow in the dark. :p

Oh, a teratogen? So if he has kids after this they'll look like Eggy?

:D

Yes, toluene is a teratogen

and acetone is a HVOC that can be absorbed into the bloodstream through thin skin (like the skin around the male parts)... and does damage to kidneys, liver and brain.

Nope...safest thing to do was peel.

OUCH!

Put the shoe on the other foot. If this man lured his girlfriend to his house and had beaten her with is fists and hospitalized her there would be no question, he would be convicted of domestic abuse and he would get jail time.

What this woman did was domestic abuse - hands down. She should get jail time. She should pay his hospital bills.

It was not funny. It's was dangerous and she is dangerous.

People put toluene and acetone on their skin all the time when the take off their nail polish.

The carcinogenic effects are probably dependent on the amount used and the time of exposure.

Both substances are highly volatile and won't remain on the skin very long, plus one might think the hospital workers would wash the person off after removing the glue.

At least some of the stories I've read about superglue mishaps indicate acetone was used to remove them.

Maybe the patient should get to choose what kind of treatment they receive?

Ahh, the difference between theory and practice. In a former life, I used to work with a substance that - like most industrial chemicals - needed a Material Safety Data Sheet: here are some excerpts from the MSDS:
Inhalation: Moderate concentrations may cause headaches, drowsiness, dizziness, excitation, excess salivation, vomiting, and unconciousness.
Skin contact: In case of massive exposure, remove clothing and shoes while showering with warm water. Get medical attention immediately.
Swallowing: An unlikely route of exposure...
Fortunately for us, the substance was liquid helium which liquid only at a temperature of 4K and it boils away at 6K (-269C). Even getting it out of its container into a room was essentially impossible, thus swallowing was very unlikely indeed.

Yes, acetone and toluene are nasty chemicals if one is chronically exposed to them in high concentrations. Good thing that the amount needed to remove a few molecules of cyanoacrylates is tiny and readily flushed away with water. If you wanna worry about something, working in Grand Central Station carries a much greater risk of carcinogenesis due to radiation because that place is built out of granite :eek:

Do I recall someone recently asking about anti-scientistic sentiments in our fair country?

Thanks for stating this view, Rose - I was thinking the same thing but was afraid to express it. I agree with you completely.
