No offense to your brother, but that's a totally unqualified opinion. HHP is right (although it's "cyanoacrylate" not cyanoacrylic) that the type of cyanoacrylate in both Krazy Glue and Super Glue is toxic to 5% of the population. Dermabond is a butyl-cyanoacrylate that's safe for 100% of the population. I just wanted to say this because the misinformation in your post could be seriously harmful to someone who thinks it's ok to use Krazy Glue on a cut when it's been shown to be toxic to 1 in every 20 people. I'm posting this from my phone and can't post a link, but do a search of cyanoacrylates and you'll find that HHP is actually correct.
