Cactus thorns are sharp, needle-like structures that can easily penetrate the skin, causing pain and irritation. Removing a cactus thorn can be a delicate process, but it is important to do so promptly to prevent infection or further discomfort.
There are a few different methods that can be used to remove a cactus thorn. One common method is to use a pair of tweezers. Grasp the thorn firmly with the tweezers and gently pull it out in the direction of the grain. Another method is to use a needle or safety pin. Sterilize the needle or safety pin with rubbing alcohol and then carefully insert it under the thorn. Gently lift the thorn up and out of the skin.
