Thorns

[Dom]

Did some pushing of the swamps and heavy brushed areas was able to push through some thorn bushes should have went back but decided on my route and got some stuck broke of in the hand.Any way to remove them ideas tried fishing with a needle but feel like they are going in and not coming to a spot to pull with tweezers.

Oh, man, if that is like the thornapples I have on my property, they can be a serious problem. A few years back, I had a branch snap back planting about a 3" long one in my left forearm, snapping off, leaving it just under the skin. It was near a nerve, and anytime I moved my arm it was like an electrical jolt. I had to have it surgically removed at an ED! 

When I got home, as I was showering I found another of the damned things in my L bicep! That one with some help from my wife, I was able to hook with a small bent fishhook, catching the swelled base of the thorn with the barb....might try that?

I can tell ya this it burns stings worst than any hornet has burned me.Did take a shot of benadryl to stop the itch but has not yet worked got hand on ice to stop the swelling.
