We were hiking through a stream in the rainforest. My foot rolled on a loose rock, and in grabbing at a branch so I wouldn’t fall over I got a splinter under my thumbnail. Our guide pulls out this big Crocodile Dundee knife and starts poking around under my thumbnail. I actually think he drive the splinter in further. Back at camp we pared away most of my thumbnail with a Swiss Army knife, removed the splinter and the crushed the juice of a leaf (they referred to this as jungle penicillin) on the thumb. It’s been all good ever since.
