I had a splinter in my toe a few months ago, kept putting it off for, like, months, and it became kind of spot of hard, sensitive skin, that goes down into my toe about 4 - 6cm. It's like a core, or somethin'. Oh and the splinter came out a couple weeks ago.
I suspect that the splinter contained spider eggs and they are going to hatch and millions of spider larvae are going to burst out, and crawl into my mouth while I sleep!
But srs, it's pretty annoying and it's been there for a long time.
