---- Glass in my foot... (http://www.golivewire.com/forums/peer-yyanbbs-support-a.html)

So I dropped a glass bottle in my dorm room last night.  Then, this morning, my roommate's alarm went of and she would NOT get up and turn the damn thing off, so I lunged out of bed to do it.  Whilst I was lunging, I stepped on a piece of said glass.  It was very small, but it's in my heel and hurts really badly.  I don't want to dig around in my foot with tweezers, because I don't have any peroxide to sterilize them with.  How can I get this shit out???  I can clearly see the edge of the glass, so do you think I could put tape over it and pull it out like that?  Or would that just hurt really badly?

You need to get it out despite how bad the pain would be, that or it gets infected.

tweezers is the only way.

and you might wanna hurry, it could get infected.

Just use the tweezers, and then put the detol stuff on it.
Or those antibacterial wipes and sprays and then smack a plaster on.

That sucks btw :( It hurts when things go in your feet. I got a pin in mine once.

wash the tweezers in the sink with hot soap and water.
