I fell on a cactus and I can't remove the thorns?

If you are unable to remove the thorns from a cactus, it is best to seek medical attention. The skin acts as a barrier against infections, and if it is punctured, this protection is compromised. It is important to have a healthcare professional complete the removal to prevent any complications.
