Tweezer removal: Most splinters can be removed with tweezers like the ones used to remove stray hairs. You can see it with magnifying reading glasses if it is on a part of the body you can get to. Some occur in places away from your ability to grab them and you might need some help. If all else fails, see your family doctor.
