How To Remove A Splinter With Baking Soda
To remove a splinter you will need the following items:
1 tablespoon of baking soda
1 spoon or stir stick
1 cup of water
1 cotton washcloth
First, put 1 tablespoon of baking soda into the cup of water. Stir until the baking soda has dissolved. Next, soak the cotton washcloth in the baking soda solution. Apply the washcloth to your finger or hand where you have the splinter wound and allow it to soak for approximately 10 minutes. Baking soda is made up of sodium bicarbonate. Sodium bicarbonate will cause the area where the splinter is to swell slightly. This swelling action will make it easier for the splinter to unlodge itself as it too will swell and rise out of the wound. You should be able to gently push your skin in the area of the splinter wound beneath the splinter and it will pop out without having to use any squeezing or tweezers.

It works wonders!!!! I have to put the t.v on for DS to sit still but I swear its awesome. We have a wooden deck that isn't in great condition so splinters are a regular occurrence in our house!

ladybirdflies, I did see that method too so I will try that one next time as it may be easier!
