Let the Record show that "David Merrill" on
or about Fri, 21 Aug 2009 19:41:16 GMT did write/type or cause to
appear in rec.crafts.metalworking the following:
When I lived in Arizona the suggested method for removing the tiny needles
from Cholla cactus was to spread Elmer's glue over the affected area of the
hands, wait for it to dry and peeling it off taking the cactus needles with
it. Obviously not the most comfortable solution for hairy skin areas.
Never was tempted to get close enough to a Cholla to have need of it myself,
not sorry.

Similar thing in Hawaii, with the sugar cane fields. One brush
with sugar cane and you understand why they burn the fields before
harvesting.
