Re: Soaking a splinter in foot

Was an iodine kid, too. Purpose was to stop blood poisoning which I've seen.

Its a red line running from the wound. If you put iodine where the red line

ends, red line will disappear and send infection back to wound.

One person recommended putting " wart off " drops on a splinter

(A dermatologist, I think it was). Wart drops stimulate the immune

system, and it forms some pus around the splinter, and it pops

right out.

I always use A and D ointment over the skin where there is any

remaining bit of splinter left under the skin. This has always

prevented infection and the tiny piece works it's way to the surface

after a few days.

There are apparently many ways to treat this common problem and some

things one should not do. Good advice. Thanks

Ever heard of Black sauve? I think it has another name other than

black sauve. Don't know what's in it but it is something that was

always in my mother's first aid supplies and I had some, but gave it

to my daughter. It works super for splinters. Put it on and cover with

a bandage. The pain goes away and the splinter backs out!

Del,

>>Ever heard of Black sauve?

Black salve, an herbal formula for topical use for drawing out toxins.

The one we always got was from the local pharmacy. That is neat that

it is an herbal formula!
