[blparent] Removing splinters?

[Melissa Ann Riccobono]

I've been lucky; I haven't had any in deep.  I'd definitely try the glue
thing; it sounds reasonable.  It might be a time when I ask for some sighted
assistance--one of my neighbors probably.  Or a friend of mine who's a
nurse.  I might also numb it with ice and then poke with a needle to remove
it.  This is only with a clean needle, and only if I can feel the splinter
really well.

Thank you. 
What do you do when it's in deep? 
We've got a deck that is bound to give somebody a splinter hence my
question.

I don't know if that works, but I've used tape when the splinter isn't
in very deep.  Just put the tape on the area and pull it off.

	Hi everybody. 
Do any of you have any good ways to remove splinters? No, nobody has
one... yet, I'm just taking a premptive strike. I've read that Elmer's
glue will work that if you apply it to skin with a splinter and wait for
it to dry and then peel the glue off, the splinter will come with it.
Anybody know if this works?
