Go to a chemist, they can give you a paste that draws splinters etc out think its called magnesium oxide but check at chemist. I keep teetree oil on thorns, makes the skin soft to help it out, and disinfects. if you get pain/redness up arm go to health services,as rarely you can get a blood infection.

Had one go into the top joint of my index finger, wife and nurse both tried to dig it out and couldn't so after an xray it was decided to see what happens. Three weeks later a load of smelly puss was squeezed out and the thorn was 15mm long and stopped the joint from bending. The relief was almost orgasmic when it came out!!!

I have had the same if you can not dig them out

you can wait untill they go septic & the puss pop out the thorn

not nice at all

Hex Armour gloves are pretty good against thorns and you can climb in them too
