Question: How do i get pesky, painful, fiber optic cable splinters out!?
My dad brought home an innocent looking fiber optic cable from work today!. He said to be careful, but I figured that there was a fiber optic "wire" inside that was like the harmless ones on our Christmas tree!. Apparently not!.
I got an incredibly painful and deep fiber optic splinter in the tip of my index finger and touching my finger in the associated area causes pain and a tingling sensation!. By far the most painful splinter I have ever had!.
I have disposed of the offending cable and now cannot find any possible way to get the splinter out!. I don't know how long it is, it may be very small, it could be up to a quarter inch in length!.
Also, I am scared to death of getting a splinter that has fallen onto my desk, carpet, or clothing stuck into me somewhere else!.
What is the fastest way to remove the splinter!? I am required to use my hands dexterously in my job and there is no way I can function in my current state of pain!. Also, I can't tape or tweez it out!. It is under the skin!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
ichthammol ointment/salve!. It should be available at a drugstore!. It draws things out from under the skin!. I used this to get an embedded cactus spine out of my foot once!.
