My neighbor pushed me down in a cactus"field", and now I have TINY cactus needles all over my arms, legs, and hands. I have tried tweezers, but It only snapped them in half. I tried packing (not like duck-tape at all) tape, but that didn't work. The last thing I tried was shaving and then putting lotion on. That worked a little, but not as much as I need it to. It made my skin itch also. We live in NC, and no one has a "field" of cactus anywhere. Can anyone help me? It hurts REALLY BAD! What can I do? Hurry!
P.S. I can't see them, but I can feel them...

Hi there,
I am afraid that all the things that you have tried will only make things worse. In my opinion the best option that you could do right now is to go to hospital and let the doctor take all the needles one by one. I am not sure if there is any other way to do this thing. This can be very painful and irritating along the side. Have you tried to use any skin wax? I heard someone once said that this might be helpful in this case. I hope that you will manage to find a way to get rid of this problem of yours.
All the best
