Answer 5

A paper cut. They are not only sneaky but painful.

A splinter on the other hand you might not even know you have one until you see it. And once it's out the pain is over. As w/ a paper cut you can be reminded of the open wound if you come across lemon juice or tomatoes. OUCH!  

Answer 6

This question is a "it depends" kind.  A splinter could be worse because it can be difficult to pull out and can become infected.  Best remove it as soon as possible to avoid infection and put on something to fight a possible infection.  Pull out the splinter in the same "direction" that it entered.  Back it straight out using a good pair of tweezers.

A paper cut burns like crazy and then it's over.  Usually you don't need a bandage.

Answer 7

paper cut

Answer 8

I would say a splinter is worse than a paper cut.  Although both could be equal.

A splinter is a foreign object under the skin.  It poses risk for infection big time if it is not removed.  It could also lead to pain and swelling in the area.  

A paper cut on the other hand I feel is a little better than a splinter because the blood tends to flush out some of the bacteria.  Only real time a paper cut is worse is if that person has a clotting disorder such as hemophilia.
