A few weeks ago, I was shoveling snow barehanded with an old shovel with a wooden handle. I ended up getting a few splinters. I removed most of them, but I later discovered there was one more in my finger. I neglected it and now it hurts a bit when I press in the spot. But I'm afraid it's pretty deep into the finger now. :ohno:
What's the diagnosis, doc?

should've used that lawnmower IMO

Probably have to cut it off. Sorry Wintz.

You can't get it out with a tweezers or something?

Ok, here's what you gotta do:
Ingredients: one(1) large bowl hot water,
one(1) large bowl full of lemon juice
one(1) large bowl ice water
1: soak your hand in hot water for 10 minutes. Make the water as hot as you can stand.
2: immediately move hand from hot water to lemon juice. Soak 5 minutes
3: finally, move hand from lemon juice to ice water. Soak until your vagina disappears.

I've heard good things about baking soda:

One thing about a wood splinter, thats interesting... if you can't get it out, your immune system will actually try to break down and disintegrate the foreign object... so eventually it will just disappear. T&Ps for those with graphite in their skin, since it seems you can't break it down.

My uncle almost lost his hand because of an infection from a splinter he couldn't get out.

I wouldn't worry about that, Winters.
