Question:

Any tricks for getting out a stubborn splinter?

I have already tried the needle and tweezer method and a saline soak. This baby is in there and it is getting too sore to even touch anymore. Anyone know of paste or soak or ANYTHING to get this thing to come out on its own?


Answers:

Here's what my grandma used to do to
draw any impurities from the skin, such
as boils, large pimples, splinters, etc.
Break an egg into a bowl. Pull out the
skin that's inside the shell. Wet the
area to be drawn and lay or wrap the
skin onto it until the skin dries. If the
impurity does not come out-wet the
skin and wait awhile longer. It should
loosen it enough for you to get it out.
If it's really down there, you may need
to go to ER and get it cut and removed.
