As I'm clearing brush from the trails my right hand acquires lots of splinters. With zero ability to grasp anything small like a knife or tweezers in my left hand, I'm forced to wait until a little pool of pus surrounds it and softens it. Then I can use the sharp point of my bathroom mirror to break the pustule and hopefully squeeze the splinter out with the pus. Gloves are only worn in cold weather. I did finally figure out how to take timed pictures so I could lay down the phone and position my hand above it. It only took a dozen tries to finally get the picture mostly correctly focused.
4 splinters in this picture, if I had the technical knowhow I could have added arrows to them. |
