Feet full of slivers

[Amanda1]

My mom filled her garden with this red bark mulch and DS's feet are FULL of slivers from it. I'm talking hundreds.

He was only in it a few times before I realised what was happening but it was too late.

I was hoping they would work them selves out but its been over 2 weeks and its not happening and they are now getting red.

I've given him lots of warm baths hoping to soak them out to no avail.

Pulling them out one by one is not possible with a 15 month old (or mine anyways)

So does anyone have any ideas?

My two year old got about twenty slivers in her feet from a wooden deck, and I worried about them, especially after a while, when a few of them got red.  But as time past, the redness went away and they all worked themselves out.  I did put some arnica on the red ones.  Not a one left now!

Epsom salt in the bath will draw them out.
