Got a splinter down deep that I can't get. Going to try baking soda paste under band aide today, I've heard it will draw the splinter out. Anybody had any luck with baking soda, or any other ideas? Oh for heaven's sake. Just go to the emergency room.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

Had a friend helping another friend put on a treated lumber deck. He got a tiny splinter in a finger. His entire hand swole up past his wrist. Before it finally came to the surface he was scheduled for surgery the next day, to amputate his finger. Because of the arsenic content in the lumber he was on meds for a couple months.He played guitar at his church. It took several months before he could play again. If it is swollen and red go to ER.

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.

My son-in-law got a porcelain sliver in his foot from a broken plate. I dug and dug for about 20 minutes until the poor kid about died. I told him afterwards the sliver came out in the first 30 seconds.
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.

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.

Actually, soaking in warm water should help draw it out.

Do you just apply that salve on the splinter entrance and put on a Band Aid? L.W. Yep.

do the dishes in the sink. warm soapy water will soften the skin and swell the wooden splinter.
If it doesn't come out the first time, at least the dishes are done.
soak in warm water with epsom salts if splinter is in your foot.
...Actually Sycamore, you are sort of right....

Right. My daughter thinks I'm the best at removing her splinters. She had one a few weeks ago, wouldn't let her husband remove it. She and her family came for a visit. I removed the splinter from her hand. It's a good thing they live close.
