This tip is useful for anyone with a small to large splinter that needs to be removed. If you have a large splinter that's embedded deep in the skin or showing early signs of infection, you may want to have your doctor look at that.
Now for the video you've been waiting for.
Splinter removal is a basic life skill everyone should know, so share this video with your kids.
Even though it's painful the last thing you want to deal with while spending time out in the wilderness is an infection from a splinter. Once you get the splinter out be sure to sterilize the area to avoid infection. And of course, if a doctor is available depending on how bad it is you may want to get it checked out.
This is a skill that's needed during disasters. Whether it's for yourself or others, someone may be counting on you to help them get through this painful but necessary process!
Much appreciation for all of your work on this nice page.
I’ve had to this a time or two
If I can get at the tip it’s not too bad. But a couple of times I had to wait till it festered and then pull it out and squeeze the pus out of it.
Where’s the how to part??? Obviously you get a pair of tweezers and grab it and pull…nothing new here.
I work in the liquor industry and i work around broken glass all night long. The one thing I learned is to purchase a few high quality tweezers with a fine point
Frstered always evokes images like that
Very quickly!!!!!LOL
Step one: find tweezers
Step two: remove splinter

MandiRhode WTH this, you need to know how
Soak in hot water so it expands and pushes towards the point of entry first.
So don’t use a weedeater, use tweezers?I’m glad I read this.

B…S… There is know way. The only reason he didn’t have to go to the hospital is because it came out in one piece. It’s not like the had to split his finger nail in half then cut it down to get the rest. I almost puked from how much it hurt
