As a vet tech, this used to happen ALL THE TIME! So annoying. Mostly in, or near, the crook of your arm from performing restraint on short coated dogs.

I had a boil forming on my chest once. I just took a pocketknife, dipped it in rubbing alchohol and dug it out of my chest.

Why do I feel relief from watching someone else's splinter getting removed lol

[pitbull]

I got a short hair splinter on the heel once. The derm doc I visited couldn't believe it. I thought I had a small piece of glass in my heel but never in my wildest dreams did I think a hair could get through my skin especially on my heel!

I've had an infected hair splinter before. Use flat end tongs and pull slowly and gently. It'll hurt more immediately but make sure the source of the infection is completely removed

I had one of these on my big toe and it hurt so bad but I was able to remove it finally after a week and a half of pain, I actually uploaded me removing it on my YT channel in the shorts section if anyone is interested 😅

[johngalt]

strangely satisfying watching the removal.

I got one today😭😭😭😭😭(seriously I’m not lying)

I get these from my dog all the time. I have a video posted on my channel of one of them stuck in my foot. I also cut my boy's hair and last month had a hair stuck in my finger. It feels like glass.

Wow 😮 I've never seen a hair splinter before. When I was 10 or 11 I got a hair cut. And a little piece of hair ended up in my lower tear duct. Came right out. But a splinter? Pretty cool

[yoo.amna]

This happened on my face once but with an eyelash it didn’t hurt at all

[FTFSupremacyROBLOX]

I've had them before, I can confirm they're the most painful type of splinter.

Once when I was like 7 I had like rlly bad pains near my thigh one day I asked my mum to check and she saw this giant thick hair which was starting to get infected so with some tweezers and a needle she tried to poke it but I pulled her hand away whenever it hurt so she couldn’t get it out she got rlly fed up so she called my grandma I didn’t know what was happening she just held me down my the shoulders and hands and my mum took the needle and poked a hole in my thigh and ripped abit of skin so it could come out after like 20 minutes of pain she got it out it was rlly traumatising as I was only 7 I felt so vulnerable and scared as she held me down😢

I have had hair splinters before but smaller ones

[twilightskiesx]

I have one of these rn on my big toe it hurts so bad 😂😩

[beckymesterhazi]

Some guy on YT was paralysed by this! Hair entered his spine!

[Foxiatheditor]

I had one of these a week ago. I came back from gymnastics and cheer and it was stuck in there. Luckily it didn’t get fully under my skin. It was only a little Shuved in there now my mom was able to get it out with tweezers though.

I just got a hair splinter and every time I moved the muscles near it it would hurt so bad
The worst part was it was less than a centimeter long (from my cat) so it was STUCK

[AzzaBazza]

I love pulling them out I think it feels good I look around my body for them all the time to pull them out
