I took out a splinter from my finger yesterday.

This morning it's now a stupid blister and hurts like a mother. Left pointer finger as well which is a massive pain.

Argh.

I watched a clip the other day of someone using a syringe to suck out a splinter, I've not had one since to try the theory out!

If there's any sign of redness around the injury site - go see a doctor FAAAST. You might need a tetanus shot or antibiotics to stop infection. A blister is not a good sign.

I'll keep an eye on it and see how it goes. I don't really need to panic at this point.

That's farked. I hate splinters and blisters. What a nightmare!
