I can hardly type. Was scooping shattered hay out of the goat feeder, and got a splinter under the nail. When I looked, I realized that I had two splinters; one under the ring finger nail, and another under the middle finger nail. The ring finger hurt so much I really couldn't feel the middle finger.
I *KNOW* not to scoop hay that way, because it has happened before, but both of these splinters were almost 9mm long! Yes, I got out a little ruler and measured them through the nail.
Two pairs of reading glasses - one over the other, and a hand held magnifying glass
Jewlery precision wire cutters
two sets of tweesers
Ouch.
After much cutting into the quick of the nail bed, I was able to pull each out without breaking the end off.
