**Splinters are a serious safety concern**
**They can pierce you, they can blind you, they can ruin a perfectly good sweater**
1. Wear long sleeves to protect your skin from those pesky splinters.
2. Avoid walking barefoot through the forest.
3. Never, ever, ever touch a cactus.
4. Don't try to remove splinters with duct tape.
5. If all else fails, call a professional.
