If you have ever stapled your hand and tried to remove it, you know how much it hurts. This article is here to explain how to remove the staple semi-painlessly.


Steps

1. Rub soap around the staple but try not to move the staple too much because this will cause severe pain.
2. Remove the staple reapplying soap as needed.
3. Wash your hands, especially around the puncture wound.
4. Apply antibiotic cream and a bandage.

Tips

• Although it may not hurt at first it will eventually cause a severe burning-stabbing pain.
• Even though running up to people and showing them the staple can be fun many will not enjoy it.

Warnings

• Do not try and remove the staple without soap or another lubricant because the staple will bind to your skin.
