I'm Dr. Alan Greene and let's talk about splinters. How do you get them out? If the splinter is still sticking up above the skin, the best thing to do, if tweezers are available, is to get a pair of tweezers. Clean tweezers, you clean them with alcohol. And rather than messing around with your fingers where you may push the splinter beneath the surface, go right for the tweezers. Grasp the end of the splinter. And then here's the trick. You pull it in the same angle that the splinter went in.
Often though the splinter is already gone beneath the surface of the skin. And if that's the case, the best way to get it out is usually to take a pin or a needle - to get that clean with alcohol - and then to gently get rid of the skin. Move aside the skin that's just above the tip of the splinter. Use the needle then to lift up the tip. And then often you use tweezers, just like we talked about before, to grasp and pull the angle that it went in.
Either way though, however far the splinter went in, it's a smart idea to wash the area with soap and water once you're done. Because when the splinter goes in, it can bring bacteria that could set up an infection.

No. It will reduce the hazard, not remove it.
Soak the paper with spirit ( ethyl alcohol) and then remove the sticky tape.
Use a magnet to remove the iron, a filter or screen to remove the sand, and a still to remove the salt.
No.
will toothpaste take out splinter
I think it has something to do with the fact that salt in a cell will make it burst, thus coaxing the splinter out.
You must be lucky with your splinters. Apparently they are only into the first layers of skin. My hand hurts and bleeds when I dig out a deep splinter.
I guess it just stays there.. You always need to remove it because it may get infected. No. The body will reject the splinter by forming a fistulous sack around it, and eventually it will come to the skin surface. Then it will be easily removed or come out by its self.

Anything effervescent works. Add some Epson salts, or Berroca to a bowl of warm water and soak the splinter for a couple of minutes while the water is still fizzing. The splinter should loosen and you should be able to squeeze it out quite easily.
