Sharing her genius 'first aid hack' on Facebook, the Australian mum wrote: "If you have ever bought Nurofen for kids before, you would know it comes with this little thing to measure/administer the liquid medicine."

She went on to claim that the suction removes "splinters, tiny shards of glass and bee sting venom in a quick, non-invasive, painless way."

The mum added: "Simply place the outer tube hole over the wound site, press firmly against the skin, then pull the inside orange tube out really quickly.

"The vacuum in the tube should extract the offending item.

And many were quick to comment their approval of the post, with one writing: "Such a great idea. Kids panic if you go near them with needles and tweezers to get those things out."

Another added: "Great for blackheads too."
