Thorn removal ideas? I've been cleaning out some of my
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?

1. peroxide
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.
