[blparent] Removing splinters?

[Robert Shelton]

Get a good set of tweezers.  If there's anything sticking out that you can
get hold of, then you have a shot at it.  Tough trying to do careful work on
a squirming kid, but still probably your best bet.

The good news is that humans rarely suffer permanent damage from splinters.
If one gets infected, then soak with Epson salts.  The magnesium sulfate
permeates the outer layers of skin and blows away the microbes that might be
trying to take up residence.

Subject: [blparent] Removing splinters?

	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?
