How To Remove A Splinter Easily
Need to remember this for kids... Remove a splinter easily by applying a paste of baking soda and water, then waiting several minutes for the splinter to pop out of the skin. Gotta remember this!

Method no 1
Take some wood glue like Elmers Glue or any other wood glue and put a drop right on the splinter. Smear it just a bit and let it dry. After it is dry just peel it off in the direction the splinter went in (so you don't break it off) and the glue will pull the splinter out for you!!
method no 2
1. Wash your hands.
2. Irrigate the affected area with a liquid antiseptic such as Betadine, or just wash the affected area.
3. Make a paste using water and about 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda.
4. Put this paste on a bandage and apply the bandage to the affected area.
5. After 24 hours, remove the bandage and rinse the area. The splinter will be sticking out of the skin and you or the child will be able to remove it easily.
May have to be repeated.
