How do you take wood splinters out?!
Question: I was walking barefoot on the part where I'm renovating and got a tiny but painful little bugger splinter in my foot, haven't had one since I was a kid and I don't remember how my mom took it out.

First soak your foot in warm water. Then sqeeeze the area around the splinter to push it up and use some tweezers to get it. If your skin has grown over it you can use a needle to get it but make sure you sterilize it first.
With a needle is the old fashion way or you can buy some Prid.
Prid is an all natural homeopathic drawing salve.
Soak your foot in Epsens salt. (It helps draw the splinter out.) Then, take some tweezers and pull it out
peroxide the spot take a needle split the skin and pull it out then disinfect again
Use tweezers and/or a needle. You may or may not have to soak, I can usually get mine out without needing to. I get splinters all the time, usually in my hands though. Even though I go barefoot always, I get a splinter in my feet only about once a year but I like to garden bare-handed too, and I get at least a dozen a year in my hands, probably more. They're easy to pick out if you ever get any practice and generally once the splinter is gone the discomfort is gone in minutes too. :)
