I was in college, before my coffee drinking days. I used a tea strainer! Extremely stupid...
If I do have glass in there, it is likely well surrounded by protective flesh now. *goes silently to get an xray*
If you're serious about that you need a CT scan and if they find anything to remove use ultrasound for live location. But any bits of glass you might have swallowed years ago should have made their way out by now, unless you have odd GI tract symptoms you are probably fine.

My brother stabbed me in the leg with a No.2 pencil as a little kid, and the graphite tip broke off. It’s still there, somewhere.




Pretty sure it gave me superpowers, though, so no biggie

I am serious about it. I was a stupid kid. It was 12 years ago!
But no, I will not seriously follow up. I have had stomach surgery since, so I am sure it's fine. It was scanned a billion times in prep for that.

I had a metal sliver in my knuckle that I pulled out last month, finally worked it's way out from another injury.
The ache would go away, then hurt again years later when it moved. I think that was the last metal splinter I had, used to have to drill thru stainless sheet metal at another job.

Ooh speaking of splinters, I got a splinter in my wrist when I was in kindergarten that came out as a 1 inch sliver of wood some time in middle school.

That’s a LONG time to have a huge piece of wood in my wrist, and I was surprised at how clean it was when it came out…lol

Nice!

Once I had this pain in my heel, an odd feeling kinda pain. When I looked there was this little black dot. So I thought splinter. When I touched it with tweezers it really hurt. When I pulled it out it kept coming.....it was pretty long. It was a single bristle off of a cup brush.....fucker went right in.
