Painlessly dislodge a splinter with this

“On Saturday, we had a family party at a park, and I managed to get a splinter lodged in my finger when I sat down at a wooden table. I had no tweezers on hand to pull it out, so my sister-inlaw suggested I spread honey on the splinter and cover it with a bandage. I let it sit for an hour, then removed the bandage. The honey had softened my skin so I was able to slide the splinter right out! —Sue Duarte, Omaha, NE
