Wash your hands, but don’t let the area around a wooden splinter get wet – wood swells when wet, which will make it more difficult to remove the splinter; if the splinter is visible above the skin, squeeze the flesh around it which will either let it pop out, or make it easier to grab; sterilise a pair of tweezers in an open flame, allow it to cool and wipe off the soot – remove the splinter, at the same angle as its entry; once it is removed, squeeze the flesh around the wound to bring about a little bleeding – this will help remove any dirt.
