I seem to have stepped on some cacti 'thorns' (don't know what you call them) and some are imbedded in the bottom of my toe. They are tiny and invisible so I can't even find them to remove them with tweezers. I have already tried the scotch tape method and making a paste of baking soda and water and letting it dry and pulling it off (found this method online). Neither worked. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
