How can I get a sliver out without a needle and tweezers?!


Question:

How can I get a sliver out without a needle and tweezers?

My son has a big wood sliver in his foot and he freaks out whenever I get near him with tweezers and a needle. I need to get it out. Help! Please


Answers:

Try to soak his foot in warm water for a few minutes. This should cause the wood to swell and force itself out enough to grab (possibly with your fingernails) and pull it out. I use this method on my kids often. Hope it helps out.
