How do i get cactus thorns out of me?

Question

i transplanted some. and now i have thorns almost everywhere on my body. some of the thorns are broken off and won't come out.

Answer 1

soak your hands in hot water  for about 30 minutes or until wrinkly, this will soften your skin and allow you to work out the splinters or pull them with a tweezers, also if you have some duct tape, dry your hands and apply the duct tape and pull

Answer 2

Well, what goes in your body eventually comes out. I will fester out one day soon. In the mean time, clean it out with alcohol everyday. Or you could go to the doctors to get them removed.

Answer 3

99% of my garden is cacti & succulents, so I speak from experience.

Masking tape or packaging tape. Put it on your finger and pull it off in the direction the thorns are stuck in.

In the future, use a paper bag (ripped open) to handle the cacti...better than gloves, I promise.

Answer 4

TRY TWEEZERS OR A SMALL VERSION OF PLIERS. SEWING NEEDLES WORKS GREAT AS WELL BUT BURN THE TIP OF IT TO KILL THE GERMS,WAIT TIL IT COOLS.  TO THEN GET TO WORK

Answer 5

Tweezers

Answer 6

Get what you can out with tweezers. The broken ones will infect the area and become sore. Some say to put tape over them and as they try to work their way out you can pull the tape off and that will also pull the thorns out. Good luck.
