If a Lamp Falls and Covers You in Glass.

[BrightStar]

If the shards get into your skin deeply after cutting, and the skin seals around most of the glass shards , will they work their way out on their own?

what should I do?

oh you bet they will i hqad to have a glass shard surgicaly removed after it went inside my hand and the wound healed around it

[BrightStar]

Will it work it's way out and leave eventually, like a Pocupine Quill?

no your body cant break down the glass and eventualy scar tissue will form around it and it WILL HURT ALOT thats why i had to get a piece removed

[killerkat]

it can actually get sucked in deeper, had a peice of metal in my hand,it it got deeper with time ,finally i think i was drunk and cut it out........

[hewhoisagod]

yeah, I'd go to the hospital for that

True but my vote goes for the getting drunk and cutting it out idea.

it not as cool as you'd think , you get REally into it and you end up cutting way too much,i have a weird looking scar their now....

glass can sometimes be forced out by the skin but only very very small splinters other than that they need to be removed by a doctor the sooner the better.

I used to work for a glass co. all you need is a razorblade, some rubbing alcohol (not to drink), and some tweezers.
but if it is too deep I would see a doctor.

[BrightStar]

I dug most of the shards out , and had to use a pocket knife to get some of the others out, but there are some that went in too deep to dig out. **

hmm...
sounds like the punchline to a "You might a redneck..." joke.

I've always been a fan of home surgery for minor stuff. Note: I am probably wrong for having done this sort of thing to myself. Don't you kids try this at home.

Pocket knife a lighter some tweezers and maybe a needle and thread just in case.
