    It was all over his teeth but they kept him in for 3 days at Makati Med for observation, the local hospital sent us there as they didn't know how to handle it.

    Ah Jim, pity you not knew me then, I could give you a pointer there! So did you keep the superglue package? Then they need to get acetone to remove it. Your wifes Nail polish remover would usually contain acetone. Heres something to remember for our kids!

    It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And I'm all out of gum.

    Thanks for that link Gary Janna is only 15 months so it could happen again you never know

    Long time ago I would probably have known how to handle it, my dad was a Chemist and was good at self medication and fixes like that ad he taught me a lot of stuff like this but it's tricky when you have a panicking partner at the other end of a long flight, I just couldn't take the risk so he was in hospital by the time I got there and there was always the chance that he could have ingested some of it which is why the kept him in, I think the hospital milked us a bit though because he looked fine when I arrived.
