|
neighbors mostly dead bushes that have draped into my yard. The nasty things have small green leaves, red berries in the fall and have the nastiest thorns ever. I had thick leather garden gloves on but still managed to get stuck with a few thorns.
I have one in each index finger and have tried everything to remove them. I could see the others and was able to get them out w/needle and tweezers. I can't see the two remaining but I can sure feel them.
Anyone know a product or procedure that might help?

Soak in hot water and then peroxide. The bubbles will help move the thorns out of the skin. Also I have used duct tape too.
