Cactus spines are sharp, barbed structures that can cause pain and irritation if they come into contact with skin. Removing cactus spines can be a difficult and time-consuming task, but it is important to do so as soon as possible to prevent infection and further discomfort.
There are a number of different ways to remove cactus spines, but the most effective method is to use a pair of tweezers. Grasp the spine as close to the skin as possible and pull it out in a quick, sharp motion. If the spine is embedded deeply in the skin, you may need to use a sterile needle to loosen it before you can remove it with tweezers.
