A member asked:
A number of very small (almost microscopic in length) splinters penetrated skin near thumbnail. can't see em but it hurts. what to do? leave alone?

Try Orajel: You could use orajel as numbing agent on your splinters especially if you can't get the splinters out. Eventually your body will absorb the splinters (if they are made of wood).
