[blparent] Removing splinters?

[Robert Shelton]

I'm a huge believer in Ebson salts.  They not only cause the skin to pucker
and thereby appear to draw the splinter out, but the salt infiltrates
through the outer layers of the skin.  If the splinter is infected, as can
easily happen, the salt wipes out the microbes.  It's a really good way to
treat boils too.

If you soak it in Ebson salt, it should pull it closer to the surface--at 
least that what my mother says.  I've not had to try it yet.

If wisdom's ways you wisely seek, five things observe with care:  of whom 
you speak, to whom you speak, and how and when and where.
