[quote=Anonymous]DS (9) was at a cook-out tonight and somehow got a cluster of tiny splinters from sitting on our friend's (recently treated) deck - we only discovered it when he was getting in his PJs. Only one is significant in size (though not huge) and it's pretty close to the skin though we couldn't get it out before bed. The skin around the splinters has raised up a bit so from a distance it almost looks like he has little bug bites. They don't really itch or hurt. We're at MIL's and she has no neosporin so we cleaned the area, applied cortisone cream and a bandaid (she was a nurse and that was her recommendation). I have been reading about treated wood and how quickly it can cause infection. Anyone have experience with this?? In the morning I plan to get neosporin ASAP and soak him in a warm bath and try again to work that bigger splinter out. But do I need to worry?[/quote]
