Personally speaking, I seem to be able to put up with a fair amount of digging, with clean sterile implements, one of those disposable scalpels is a nice tool for this. LOL ! Might not be for some.
However, I too subscribe to the not using YT for medical advice, LOL ! and would seek a medical professional if its just not going to come out, break off or what have you.
I have seen 2 people with slivers of wood in their hands that ended up in the hospital, arm elevated and swollen beyond belief, it was a long time ago when I worked in the local lumber yard, one was a friend and contractor, forget who the other fellow was, one was from some old wood under roof shingles and the other I believe was from CCA treated wood. Its hard to say whether everyone will have a reaction like that, but if it becomes infected or the body takes a hard line stance about rejecting it, the possibility of what I described is very real, being winter is in your favor, but I recall vividly paying a hospital visit to this contractor/friend, it was that serious, or became so. Might be an easy removal for a doctor, and you avoid the risk. I know with me, I'd either clean, sterilize, have at it and win, if not, right to the doctor or ER if need be, that swelling I saw was right up there with a venemous snake bite, had I not seen this, I'd probably not think this way on those, he was lucky, infection was serious.
