Got a splinter

alwaysadub

I've a splinter in my finger that i can't get out. I've no tweezers, i'm by myself so can't get anyone to dig it out, and i've tried sucking and biting it out but it's not moving. It's really annoying!

So AH, any ideas or old wives tales on how to remove a splinter that might work for me?

'Fraid not... Looks like the finger will have to come off.
Sorry bud

D.Q

I actually do...

Get a bit of bread. And a plaster.

Dip bread in warm water, then attach the wet bread to the area affected with the plaster.

Give it a few hours. Gone.

Cut it off before the splinter gets into your bloodstream and you die a painful death.

Sorry, we can't give out medical advise.

But maybe try sucking it out.
