What Happens When You Leave In A Splinter For Too Long?

- If you leave a splinter in for too long, you risk a dangerous infection. Splinters are made of natural materials so there's a greater chance that they'll carry bacteria or fungi. Remove the splinter as soon as possible and then disinfect the wound to prevent sickness.

Hey, what kind of splinters were they (Glass, metal, wood) and how did they come out on their own.
VioLo wood
Damned min-maxer…
Last time my girlfriend left wood in herself for a little too long we had a new baby girl
topnotch3232 haha. very funny.
Was it the rubber that failed you?
Omg.
You dont have a gf idiot
Lmao yoo 😂😂
When I was a kid, I thought that it would travel around in my body through my blood vessels and puncture my organs 🙄
I always thought it can kill you if it reaches your heart, like it got carried in the blood vessel. lol
guitar same
guitar Me too.

I felt a splinter on my foot several years ago and I wasn't able to remove it because it got burrowed too deep but I didn't experience any infection. I know it's still there because there are times that I can still feel it when I run or contract my foot.
Do you feel disturbed by it?😂
@@siah2saucy216 not really. Sometimes I feel it when I walk but very seldom.
Mines to small to get out 😭
i have a splinter in my foot too but its so small and eventually my skin covered up my tiny splinter i feel it too when i run or walk and it was just one splinter i dont know if its wood or anykind but it feels like it multiplys i only felt one splinter before but now maybe 5? but no infection yet.
@@jxnkou4467 I think yours is more serious than mine. Do you feel it often?
One time my mom almost crashed a kite into me and I got a nature acupuncture cuz I was literally behind a 7 ft tall cacti
oop-
This is not the case with splinters naturally they come out in time, what helps much is black drawing salve you can get at walmart or drug store apply it on the splinter wrap bandaid around it wait for two three days the splinter should be exposed enough to remove with tweezers.
I had a splinter once when I was a kid on my foot. It was deep and long, they had to cut it open to get it out. It hurts as hell but looks oddly satisfying lol
I'm watching this because I got a splinter in my toes, and the problem is, it's very tiny. But it's still painful.
Same in my big toe too
Never once I have I taken time to disinfect or place a bandaid upon splinter removal.
I just got a splinter today. It wasn’t wood, I was stocking onions at work and a very small piece of the butt end of one decided to get stuck in my thumb. I couldn’t get it out at first but was able to 6 hours later after my shift. All I had to do was squeeze the area like a pimple until it emerged.
my mom just takes a needle and digs into my skin when the splinters too deep in if there not i just yank on it
stepped in a thorn bush 3 weeks ago and a thorn is still in my heel, i can’t get it out cuz new skin grew over it, it hurts every once in awhile when i walk, what do i do
Where do you get your music from?
Search it using Google
I thought my kitchen chair was safe, but I was wrong.
I had 2 splinters of Pencil lid from atleast 15 years under my hand skin .i tried a lot but they would not come but they are visible over the skin.
@@ufcufc4815 no nothing
But how do I remove my splinter it's on my foot and it's glass but tiny
I had a small thin splinter at my back it didn't hurt at all it was outside alr just pull out then done no hurt
I have 2 splinters in one finger for 3 years now... two balls .. sometimes a sensation.... they are still there.. skin covered...
When I was 14 I stepped on a piece of glass that was half a inch long and it was stuck in my foot so I tried to take it out but it kept getting deeper and deeper so I left it...for 4 yrs while I walk I'll feel it move and slice but lately I haven't been feeling it anymore
NAIPUKA LATU creepy
I had a splinter in my foot as a kid. My mom got it put with a needle and tweezers
I removed a small splinter in just seconds after it went in. It was some thorn I guess. But my skin is swelling and going red. However there is no pain. I don't know what to do.😓
it can have something on it that is not good for your skin
I suspect I may have a glass splinter in my finger from cutting myself on glass about a month ago. A month later, I have pain and this pinching sensation when I press my finger a certain way against something. Guess I should get it checked out.
How did it turn out ? Are you ok now?
@@Umilianiyup. I wasn’t positive I had a glass splinter to begin with because I didn’t see any glass even though I had cut myself on a piece. But I tried the baking soda method a few times, and my cut eventually healed.
I got a splinter and got it out but the half is left it was tiny metal the size is about the edge of a needle the length was small I'm scared to die
Ohhh I thought those spikes were a tree from the thumbnail
One time when I was 7 (a long time ago...) I sat on a bench and then my backside started hurting and ai got on a bike and it hurted like CrAzY it was a splinter but I didnt know that when I got home when ever I sat on something it would hurt so then I told my mom and she said it will goo away soon but days and days and it never stopped hurting thrn my mom took me to the doctor and they did a ex ray im pretty sure and they saw a little sliver of wood and they said it was probably a splinter that got pushed in a lot then they had to take it out (it was pAiNfUl) so lesson learned when something hurts dOnT iGnOrE iT
And I also got a fever so I didnt go to sChOoL yAy
I broke a golf club over my knee and 4 years later i still have 3 huge splinters in my knee i can't get out. I believe it's carbon fibre. should I go get them removed
Shawn Barbour yeh
Did you ever remove them?
yes! Most definitely!!
@@rickymarin2545 still there lol
A small splinter got stuck in my foot and it bled a lot I’m trying to remove it but now my skin has grown over it and stuck inside what should I do
@@nishanthredy6716 I just removed it with spinters so im good :)
This one time I stepped on glasses and the glass was stuck in my foot but I didn’t go to the hospital, instead my family pinned me down so they could remove it.
pinned you down 🤣
I had one but idt it was a little wood in my thumb i let it there bc it was too deep and nothing happend to me yay
I have a thorn stuck in my foot I can see it but I can’t reach it with tweezers and I cut the top layer of skin off and then tried to use a needle and hot water to softer the skin and nothing has worked now I’m putting baking soda on it for 24 hours to try and draw it out enough to actually get it with my tweezers and now I’m scared I might be leaving it in there for to long if anyone has suggestions please let me know!
now u please let me know..how are you..?
is it still inside?
go to a dermatologist!

Umm just wondering whom have scientists used (too long) to see the results of these splinters. Ehm ehm.. just saying. Lol
The risk of necrotizing fasciitis or septic shock looms here. :( :(
When i see a splinter in my skin i just take it out. I dont disinfect anything or bandage it i just take it out

i have a wood splinter on my foot and it hurts when im walking. just pray for me that it wouldn't got infection you guys.
this is exactly what im going through, did u get it out?
I just got one from my wood floor I have to go 2 work and walk on it all night fml
it’s stuck underneath my skin I was only able to the get the tip of it but the rest is still stuck and swollen
IM SO SCARED TO DIE AND I HAVE A SPLINTER IN MY FOOT!!!!!!
Dude the chance of dying isn’t high
You get infected,duuh!
Don’t worry to much if you can’t get it out your body will get it out itself
mines been stuck for 4 years 😣
thats bad advice as some splinters get so deep that the skin forms a pocket around it, it make a granuloma or infect your whole blood stream!
My splinter is fully inside my foot
go to a dermatologist to remove it
Either you found this in ur recommended
Or you got a splinter and looked up “what will happen if there is a splinter in my body for to long”
Alright, you guys are getting the Tech Insider treatment: you are publishing on a video platform. Narrate your videos. Thumbs down for making me read while playing music. If I wanted to read, I'd just turn on the captions.
It's a pass for me because they made an effort to animate it
I actually prefer the videos without narration. It makes certain that I'm watching the video and not doing something else while I half-assedly listen to it.
Thats part of their stupid business model. Make short videos with minimum effort and reap the ad revenues. $$$
I had a splinter in my foot as a kid. My mom got it put with a needle and tweezers
