my gram used to remove splinters with fatback .. I still use that idea but I made it a little safer by putting salad oil on a wet Band-aid with salt
wet bandaid with water. pour salt in a small mound . make sure the salt is wet then pour a little corn oil on bandaid ..splinter will come out in less than 3-4 hours
