Why do splinters hurt so much more than cuts?
In: 2
splinters often penetrate some flesh, whereas cuts merely scratch the first few layer of skin. since splinters go deeper, they are more painful.
it could also be attributed to the fact that splinters are pretty much tiny spikes and when you don’t pull them out, they hurt more. you are moving around and the spikey piece will move around, causing more pain in the flesh.
