Slivers!

I just returned from 3 days of beach camping. There were about 13 grandkids all under the age of 11. The worst thing, thankfully that happened, as far as needing first aid goes, was a sliver in the toe of 3 year old Cosette.

MY daughter in law saved the day by being able to carefully remove it from Cosette's big toe using tweezers. Another person was needed to hold Cosette down (lovingly!) because she cried a lot, anticipating great pain.
One daughter said she always used a needle to remove her kids'slivers.

After returning home, I did some research and found out about this hand tool for slivers: Do check out the description by clicking on...

Also...here is a detailed video of how to really remove a hefty sliver well...this one has bleeding, so fair warning:
