Thistle Spines In My Feet ?
Posted: 09-23-07 15:50pm

I ran through a very large thistle patch with only socks on, and now I am pretty sure I have about 20 thistle spines in each foot, but I am not sure because about an hour after I ran through the patch I looked at my feet and there was lots of small dark spots that I can tell are beneath the surface of the skin, and there are no holes in my skin, so if the spines are in there my skin must have healed over them very quickly. First I would like to know your opinion on whether or not their are indeed spines in my feet, and secondly I would like to know if they need to be removed, or if they will dissolve or something, if left there and how long that would take.

Here is a link to a picture of the plant so that you know what the spines look like: http://flickr.com/ph otos/lizalee/257438173/
