Splinters used to be near the top
of DJ's most dreaded injuries.
Removing splinters by "force"
was excruciatingly painful
for all involved.
There had to be a better way.
And, thanks to a Google search, there is.
After a few misguided fails,
(eggshells, school glue)
we found a winner:
Baking Soda.
It's quick, easy, and best of all, pain-free:
1. Thoroughly clean & dry the affected area.
2. Scoop-out about a tablespoon of baking soda
3. Make a paste by adding a small amount of water
(about the consistency of toothpaste)
4. Generously cover the splinter with
the baking soda paste.
5. Cover with a band aid.
6. Wait.
How long?
It depends on how deep the splinter is.
Usually, results are in a matter of hours.
