Removing splinter with needles

• It can be difficult to hold a sewing needle stable while trying to remove a splinter. To give yourself something easier to hold onto, push the blunt end of the needle into a cork from a bottle of wine until it is very secure. Now you can hold the needle with a sort of handle, making manipulations much easier. Moreover, this needle is a lot easier to store on a shelf in the bathroom, without it getting lost, falling on the carpet, , etc
  
  
• I always use a safety pin because it is easier to hold.
  
  
• Honey works nicely. It brings the splinter to the top of the skin and it then slide out. I've tried it and it works. Hope you never get a splinter, but if you do let me know if the honey worked.
  
  
• Use the fabric type Elastoplast and apply it directly onto the splinter,with the sticky part directly over the splinter. This draws the splinter to the surface. Put two layers of the Elastoplast over the area to be treated.
  
  Leave it in place for about 4-5 days and the splinter should be ready to pick out with tweezers, if it does not come out on the plaster when you remove it. An old and tested remedy that I can vouch for.
