Ow - slightly sore thumb

About two months ago I scraped some dough of the hook of the KitchenAid with my finger. Some paint of the hook got stabbed in to my finger. It has been in there EVER SINCE - I didn't realise it although I have had a go with tweezers a few times as I felt it wasn't quite right. Finally I have got it out and my finger feels better.

You can see the tiny white spec here. Doesn't look much, but has been in my thumb months!
