Splinters could cause small wounds in the lips or tongue. Over time, there will be a slight increase in cancer risk. Also, cancer needs nutrients to grow, so anything that helps you to eat could eventually lead to cancer. Better to wither away than aid your cells in growing and dividing, I always say.
Indeed, being a multicellular organism usually means you're either pre-cancer or already have tumors that have not yet become malignant.
