This post is solely dedicated to the victims of a glochid attack. That's right...I am referring to those tiny, invisible thorns that are on a so called "thornless" cactus pad. During the harvest of prickly pears, we always get a few of those embedded in us.
Forget the tweezers... and the magnifying glass with the glochid extraction attempts that fail. Spread rubber cement over the injured skin; let it dry. Peel the glue off the spines with it. Don't like that glue idea? Then use a strip of duct tape....place it over the area of attack, and then pull it off.
It works like a champ!
