How to Treat a Blister With Super Glue While Hiking

Treating a blister while on a hike is easy if you pack along some super glue. This method gives you over 24 hours of protection and keeps bacteria out of the blister.

Instructions

• 1

  Remove your hiking boot and sock when you feel a blister forming. Wash the area thoroughly with soapy water.

• 2

  Sterilize a pin or needle with alcohol or fire, and poke the side of the blister with the needle as close to the foot as possible.

• 3

  Squeeze out liquid from the inside of the blister by applying firm, even pressure to the top of the blister. Make sure to leave the skin intact.

• 4

  Open your Super glue and squeeze it over and around the blister. Cover the entire blister and several centimeters around it with Super glue.

• 5

  Wait 60 seconds to ensure the super glue is dry.

• 6

  Replace sock and hiking boot. Walk around a bit to ensure the foot feels OK before you continue hiking.
