How To Get Tiny Spines From Prickly Pear Out Of Hands, Accidentally Touched On Holiday?
Ouch! From the web site I link to below:
“The easiest way to remove glochids is with a pair of tweezers. With a dark background and the affected area in bright light, you can usually spot the difference between your own body hair and the straight, stiff, slightly thicker glochid. Once you spot it, just pluck it with your tweezers. If you can feel it but can’t spot it, I usually use the shotgun approach. Narrow down the area and use the tweezers to repeatedly pick at the skin until you no longer feel the spine. I’ve also heard that a piece of duct tape, applied to the affected skin and then pulled off, will remove these little spines.”
