That is much easier than trying to hold a normal flashlight at the same time as a needle.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=darkoshi&ditemid=438583" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-06:301081:435629 2013-12-22T01:55:28Z 2013-12-22T01:55:28Z public 3 I picked at the skin with a needle. And tweezers. I sucked on it. I rubbed soap on it and washed it off. I did something else for an hour. I picked at it with the needle and tweezers some more. I could see the splinter quite distinctly at this point, but it still wasn't sticking out for me to be able to get it with the tweezer.<br /><br />I spit on it. I squeezed the area around it with my other hand, trying to push it out from the bottom. It came out!<br /><br />..<br /><br />I worry how I'm going to be able to get splinters out when I'm older and my eyesight isn't as good. Over the years, I've read many suggestions and remedies. But I always have a hard time remembering what has worked for me personally, besides picking at it with a needle. So I'm going to try to remember to write down what works, each time it happens.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=darkoshi&ditemid=435629" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
