It Takes Care Of Splinters

As small as splinters are, their chances of getting infected are much higher. But while they can be painful to remove, leaving them can cause more harm. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, splinters can cause inflammation, infection, and permanent bumps in the skin.

But what if taking it out wasn’t as painful as you’d expected? It has been claimed that applying Vicks VapoRub to the area affected before pulling the piece of wood out eases the pain.
