Loose fuel cap on my 460. 28 full oz. of 50:1 down my right thigh. Double layer of denim. It made for LONG, stinky, crummy commute home.

an old husky put bar oil down my back........i forget the model but i hated that saw after that lol.
started changing my mind on the flip top lids after a few tanks of bar oil and saw gas rattled loose and down my leg, whilst filling the bar oil tank with chips...

Yeah, I think I am changing my mind about these caps too. Too complicated. Too many parts to break and wear out. Threaded caps make more sense in the woods. Give me screw caps for my saws and a skidder with no computer and I will be a happy poika.

I still have half a sliver in my finger and I forgot to go to civilization to get some Epsom salts yesterday.

Oh goodie ,a gas cap thread 
Yes i have had bar oil down the back with the 460 once ,of course you do not feel it through a sweatshirt till the whole tank is empty and filling your boot

I don't think a boot drier will work on that.....

Dr. Raleigh's salve works wonders on slivers if they get to the point that they are infected. If you have some it might work to get that out. Of course I don't know if it works on half slivers or not.

You can take salt baths with them too -- very relaxing!
Razor blade, tweezers, peroxide, wrap.

If its under her nail then: pliers, razor blade, tweezers, peroxide, wrap.

Pinch her next time and you'll be even Steven. LOLMy wife digs my splinters out with a nice sharp sewing needle.
She says it doesn't hurt her one bit!
It is under the nail. And I already poked around with a dirty needle that is kept on a dusty shelf. I don't have any peroxide so I shot some hand sanitizer under my nail. I think it'll just have to grow out or rot or whatever they do. Maybe I should inject some root rot spores or conk spores.

if its clean wood it will prolly work out. if its a thorn or steel sliver, it has to come out.
had a big nasty sliver jammed under my thumbnail few years ago, about 3/4" long and 3/16" wide, went straight in past the cuticle and broke of somewheres under the nail... say in inch deep overall.
3 clinics later...
Quack cut the nail back and yarded on it with some needle nose pliers... I heart Novacain... still have a bit of whoop and a nice white line down my nail...
If its not real deep you could try trimming the nail more than a little short and see if you can get at it that way, otherwise wait it out a few days and the little ones work themselves out.
