Porter's Salve. Been around for years . Get it online. Will draw it right out.
Or just take your panties off and dig it out.


normally i don't wear gloves to procure pans from under the kitchen counter.

but when it comes to trtd wood, and a splinter gets embedded, probably better to take immediate action.

worst pain i evert had was the splinter going to the base of my finger nail.

back in the day when boils were common, sulfur and also mustard were used.
