The glowing splint test is a test for an oxidising gas, such as oxygen. [4] In this test, a splint is lit, allowed to burn for a few seconds, then blown out by mouth or by shaking.

Cauterization (or cauterisation, or cautery) is a medical practice or technique of burning a part of a body to remove or close off a part of it. It destroys some tissue in an attempt to mitigate bleeding and damage, remove an undesired growth, or minimize other potential medical harm, such as infections when antibiotics are unavailable.
Generally, a splinter causes an initial feeling of pain as the sharp object makes its initial penetration through the body.
