not as drasti c as it seems- my little brother dropped a glass bowl and then came out of the kitchen and is now sittin with his legs on my lap.. hes got really really tiny bits of glass in his soft little feet and theres tiny dots of blood.too small to tweezer out.
hes fine but if he feels ok do i still need to get it all out?

They should work there way out of the foot, if not or your worried, go to the Dr.
If you're still worried, I'd take him to get checked out. Do you have anything like a minor injuries unit nearby?
Let them come out naturally or cut them out horrifically.
NOO I did that once with glass, thought ah it will work its way up to the top (wasnt even sure if glass was still there as the cut was bad) and 2 years on i still have glass in there which does hurt if i put presure on it.
Get it looked at by a doc DONT just leave it!
:yes: Very true.
I had a lump on my foot for years which was always flaring up and hurt when I put pressure on it. One day it was bothering me so much I gave it an extra hard squeeze and a fucking great thorn popped out. Relief.
i stood on some glass on holiday once and thought some was still in there but because we couldn't see anything my parents wouldn't believe me. so i did surgery on my foot and got it out myself!
erm i gave it a wipe with a flannel, there were only about 5 little points of blood really not loads and loads.
i left it, he felt fine and hasnt complained since.
we have a sort of 'get up and get over it' attitude in my house so unless he says it hurts then i think its ok.
