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
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 removedQuote:

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

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. :thumb:
but if it is too deep I would see a doctor.
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.

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