How do i remove cactus thorns from my hand?
my girlfriend fell and stuck her hand in a cactus on christmas eve. we couldn’t get all of the thorns out, there were some very tiny ones under the skin. now her hand is painful and she has at least one that might be getting infected. how can we remove them, and what are the effects of cactus thorns? i’ve heard that they can be poisonous.
It is rare, but cactus spines can sometimes get really infected. If it is just red and swollen, you might try soaking her had in an Epsom salt solution (you can buy Epsom salts at a drug store), as hot as she can stand it, for 10-15 minutes.
If it is festering up, sometimes it will pop out if you open it up with a needle and squeeze it gently. Often cactus spines have little hooks like a fishhook, and that is why they are so hard to get out. If it continues to get infected and does not get better in a day or two, go to the doctor and have them removed.
If they are still sticking up, try the following method for removing cactus spines, as well as small fiberglass spicules or plant stickers (for example, stinging nettle): Apply a layer of hair remover wax. Let it air-dry for 5 minutes, or speed up the process with a hair dryer. Then peel off the gel or wax with the spicules. You can also try white glue, or adhesive tape, but it is less effective. Pulling on them wih tweezers can just break them off under the skin.
If you don’t get them out, they could remain painful for months, and won’t work out due to the barbs on them.
