From another interenet site that I frequent.
A guy in Tucson cleaning his yard.
Ended up getting lots of those little fine needles from a Prickly Pear.
Any ideas that work that can help get them out.???.
Gues he has already tried the tape & Elmers glue.
The guy sounds in real pain/suffering.
Just hoping to help, and thought all of you.
Thanks

Duct tape from Todd's backpack is the best remedy I've ever found.
My nail gal and her tweezers are a close second. |

Tweezers and magnifing glass? I've got a cinnamon cactus in the yard, very cute until you brush up against it. The needles are so fine you can hardly see them.
In time they will fester and come out that way. Not much help but that is the reality of it. _________________ The bear went over the mountain to see what he could see. |
