Pain. Tweezers

[elky McElkerson]

Boy got a splinter in my index finger. Throbbing pain for a couple of days. Couldn\'t stand it so I dug it out. Dang that hurt!!!

Got me thinking. I\'m putting tweezers in my firstaide bag

I have tweezers and a needle for splinters in my first aide kit. Left alone a splinter can cause pain and swelling. I get them suckers out as soon as possible.

Cover the splinter with a band-aid before you go to bed, next morning it will be all soft and will slide right out.

Never heard that tip before, but that makes perfect sense... :think:

You should know that one Derek, those boys of yours will appreciate that one!

All the old ladies I\'m my hood suggested taping a raisin to the spot overnight.
