Getting a splinter in your palm or fingers can be a real pain. It's hard to work or enjoy life when you have this dull discomfort that turns into shooting pain when it's touched. It turns out it's relatively simple to remove a splinter with a...wait for it...a banana.
Wait a minute. How does this work?
People who use this hack swear it's effective. When you have a splinter beneath the surface of the skin, wrap a banana peel around it with the wet side against your skin. It will draw the splinter out most of the time.
