Taking the ooze off the hook, and then a painful surprise? Below you will find tips from the fisherman on how to remove the hook from your finger, nose, lip ...

Steps

1. 1 Gently push the hook through your finger until it comes out to the other side, unless the barb has entered the skin. It will hurt, but it’s better than pulling out the hook directly and tearing the skin.
2. 2 Take a pliers and cut off the prong of the hook.
3. 3 Pull the remaining hook out. You will experience more pain, but, again, it is better to tear your finger apart with a prong.
4. 4 If the bleeding is heavy, apply pressure on both sides of the wound until the bleeding stops, then disinfect and bandage the wound.
5. 5 Get a tetanus shot if the hook is rusty.
6. 6 There is also an alternative method for removing the hook from a finger if it has been driven deep under the skin.
7. 7 Take a 30-centimeter line and wrap it around the curve of the hook.
8. 8 Hold the line in one hand and press down on the hole in the hook with your other hand.
9. 9 Distract the patient and then remove the hook. The pressure on the hole of the hook will help prevent a much more serious wound from getting out of the hook. Rinse the wound with peroxide or alcohol and bandage it with gauze.
10. 10 Remember to maintain pressure under the cut to stop heavy bleeding.
