The last (wood) splinter I got was a month ago in my left thumb and I'm left-handed so after dropping a few apparently-too-feeble-to-be-worthy-of-notice hints around my SO, I just left it in there. It was about 1/4 of an inch long and hurt like hell until maybe 3-4 days ago (still hurts just for a second when I rub it now; I can still feel where it is) but eventually the body will simply absorb stuff like that. I've also absorbed two pencil points in my leg over the years and probably still have some coinage from my childhood kicking around the old gastro tract. I don't really give a crap. That said, you bring up a lot of good points, since splinters aren't the most comfortable things to not be able to remove.
