And this is not just an old 1988 song by the old band Poison…actually there are roses that have no thorns. However, if for some reason you are out in the garden and you prick your arm or leg with a thorn of some sort here is what you can do if you can not take it out out with the tweezers.

To draw a thorn out and this also works for splinters try putting either honey, a raw onion or tomato juice on it…it should naturally draw it out of your skin. Or you can put a banana peel or a baking soda compress and leave it on over night on it over night and by the morning it should be out. Be sure to clean the affected area with soap and water. Then put some honey on it for a natural ointment. If an infection or swelling should occur consult your doctor.
