Metal slivers in your fingers

[magic9r]

I use a straight razor or ceramic knife, "shave" the skin in the opposite direction to that in which the splinter is most sensitive when stroked, the sharp edge catches the material and pulls it out cleanly,

I use a microscope and whatever is small or large enough to grab them or dig them out.

Walgreen's used to sell a thing in a tube, a 'splinter picker'. just a folded tweaser of small size with SHARP points that will pierce skin. Always in my drawer of 'stuff', like scotch 33 for small cuts, had it for many years now. I have one of those 6 inch magnifier glasses too.

I've heard of people using Elmer's glue. Let it dry then peel it off.

I've heard that too. Never tried it, but I'll try to remember it, next time I pick up a splinter.
