Dunno but i'd get it out fairly quickly they just like fuck after you get over the initial shock and they become infected really quickly!

If it attracts and is big enough i don't see why not? I've had a few before and you end up with a fairly large infected area quite quickly which isn't the prettiest thing ever.

Old school trick is to put some hot wet bread over the area and put a bandage round it. I think as the bread drys out it sucks the splinter out.
