If i leave a splinter in my finger will it eventually push itself out so i can get to it with tweezers?

Question:

I got a splinter in my finger but it is too far in to get at it with tweesers. I tried using a needle to break the skin to get to it but it is way to far in with it push itself out.

I posted this cause somebody said If i leave it it can travel to my heart and give me a heart attack.

Answers:
No, it will simply get infected. You'll get blood poisoning and That will kill you.
Here's an old cure that actually works:
Crack an egg. On the inside of the shell you will see a membrane clinging to the shell that looks like white paper. Strip a piece of this membrane out of the shell and put it on a band-aid and cover the splinter with it. Leave the bandage on overnight. The membrane will shrink as it dries and draw the splinter out by creating a sort of vaccuum suction. It should be out in the morning.
If your finger is sore, soak it in very warm water with Epsom salts.
I know this sounds wierd but it works, I have drawn out many splinters of wood and also steel with this.

the splinter will stay in ur finger and skin will grow over it and it will be harder to get it out but u have to get it out cuz it might cause an affection
