How to remove a splinter from finger?

How can you remove a splinter from your finger?

• Answer:

  Soak your finger in hot salt water until the water gets cool. Only get the water as hot as you can stand, not hot enough to burn. Then squeeze until the splinter shows itself and pull out with tweezers. If this doesn't work try soaking in cold water to reduce the swelling. Then take a pair of tweezers and try to pull it out. If it starts to splinter however don't keep trying- it'll only make it worse. If these don't work, simply wait for the nail to grow- this will push the splinter forward. When its close enough to the nail end, cut the nail as close as possible and pull it out.
