Question:
How to get out a sliver, no pain, or tweezers...?
HELP!!!!!!!
Answers:
If the sliver is wood, you can make it swell by soaking it (swimming, wet bread, or a drop of iodine) enough to get a grip on it and pull it out.
If it broke off too low down to grasp it even then, don't worry about it. Your body can dissolve organic splinters over time (wood, cactus spines, etc.). Keep it clean until the skin heals over the site, then forget about it.
If the sliver is metal or glass and you can't get it out, your body will form a capsule around it. It may slowly move away from the place it is now. If this poses a potential problem, have it dealt with before this can happen.
