Step on a Sharp Object?

(HealthDayNews) -- If you step on a nail or broken glass, it may not be a good idea to pull out the embedded object, advises St. John Ambulance. This may cause more damage and bleeding.

Instead:

• Place a clean, preferably sterile, dressing around the object.
• Build up paddings around it so it doesn't move.
• Secure the paddings with a narrow bandage.
• Get medical help from a nearby clinic or emergency room.
