Advice to extract glass from finger

How to remove a sliver of glass from a finger?
(24 Apr 2007)

- Put your finger in warm water for a while. This will help the skin to soften. Press the sides of the finger skin carefully, where the sliver of glass is stuck.


This will put pressure on the center and allow the glass to come out a bit. Then pluck it with the help of a tweezer.
- Hard dough made form wheat flour or moist chewing gum when used will also help the glass come out of your finger.
Carefully remove the glass as even if a small piece is left inside the finger it will be difficult to remove, causing lot of pain and irritation.
