Tweezers would be easiest, but since you're afeard of them: If you hit any Epsom salts, you can make a paste (1 cup Epsom salts to 1 cup water) and apply the paste to your thumb. It will entertainer discover the splinter. This 100% works, I've used it before on wood that were too deep for tweezers. If you don't hit any Epsom salts, you can essay soaking your moulding in warm water. That will soften the wound and the split haw work itself out. Also, you could intend a sibling or parent to take it discover for you... just near your eyes and don't look and let them clutch it with tweezers. If you can't intend it out, don't sweat it, it will work itself discover given time.

If you are scared of tweezers have somone else do it while you aren't looking. What you should do it consign the finger in water and then it will come out a little at the end so you have to have a gentle person do it. Then carefully clutch the sticking out end of the splinter with the tweezers and when you vantage it out it won't hurt. And will DEFINITLY perceive much less then if you were to leave it in and then it intend infected...or worse
