What happens if I don't remove a splinter?

[Red Squirrel]

Got a small splinter the other day, and I just can't seem to get it out. It seems to be getting deeper and harder to see. Will my body eventually just disintegrate it? It's wood. It does not really hurt unless I'm playing a lot with it.

it'll work itself out. i had one under my thumb nail for about a month. it eventually disappeared.

This is a fairly common problem with wood.

Surely you can handle a little prick inside you for a while.

I have to admit, I loled. :biggrin:

I need to stop playing with it and it should just work it's way out then.

Or it gets infected and you lose a limb.

This or your skin hardens and grows over/around the thing. I think that's what happens on my foot.

What happens is that you forget about it, until you touch something just right and it hurts like a motherfucker.

At least that's what happens when I get tiny pieces of metal in my hand.

It might take root...

It will work its way to your heart and you will die.

Just keep an eye on it, if it starts to look bad don't wait and go to the doctors. Or you know be a man and dig the bitch out.

Thanks for the fond memories, and after I got blind drunk for 2 weeks straight trying to forget about it the first time I saw it.

Didn't you see "The War of the Worlds" (new one with Tom Cruise)? It'll work itself out son.
