Brilio.net - Fingers that are hit by sharp thorns will certainly feel painful. These thorns can come from various sources, such as plants, wood fibers, to small fish bones. Although it looks trivial, thorns that pierce the finger can cause pain and discomfort that interfere with daily activities.
When a thorn pierces the skin, there will be a body reaction that occurs, such as inflammation and swelling in the area affected by the thorn. In addition to pain, there is also a risk of infection if the thorn is not removed properly or if the wound is not treated. Many people often do not know the right way to remove the thorn, causing the thorn to remain in the skin and prolonging the healing process.
In fact, these thorns can be removed easily. One of the most common ways is to prick the area of the finger that is hit by the thorn. After further investigation, it turns out that this needle can make the thorn easier to remove. But instead of having to feel the pain of being pricked again, you can use another method like the one used by Instagram user @nanbe.tips.
Through one of the videos he uploaded, the Instagram user admitted that he did not use any special tools. In his video, he only relied on one kitchen ingredient. Reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @nanbe.tips on Sunday (22/9), the kitchen ingredient in question is 1 clove of garlic that has been peeled and thinly sliced.

Stick the garlic right on the finger that was pricked by the thorn. After that, stick it using a special plaster for wounds. If so, let it sit for a while. Well, garlic slices can help soften the area of skin affected by the thorn. This can make the thorn easier to remove, especially if the thorn is left in the skin.

After leaving it for a while, open the plaster and lift the garlic. Well, a moment after being lifted, the thorns that were previously on your fingers will stick to the garlic. That way, you can immediately wash your hands without worrying about the infection caused.

Having been viewed more than 3 million times, this video about the trick of removing thorns from fingers has immediately attracted the attention of netizens. Many other Instagram users then gave their responses directly in the comments column. Some of them even admitted to having successfully practiced the trick.
" Have you ever practiced it on a child's feet, just smear/stick on it, you can also plaster it. The function of the onion is to soften/elasticize the skin/flesh around the thorns/wooden impingement, so it's easy to remove it because it doesn't stick around for a long time. In my experience, hahaha ," wrote the Instagram account @tatasylvia.
" A week ago my foot was hit by a sharp glass, thank God I rubbed it with garlic and the glass came out ," said Instagram @fit731968.
" Placing the part that was bitten by a thorn on a glass filled with hot steam is also possible ," explained Instagram @ninaridwan84.
" Papaya latex can also be used ," commented the Instagram account @ismartiwiningsih.
" You can also use lime, just apply it, " said Instagram @acil.ida.
