nelson_crn August 31, 2009 Share August 31, 2009 Duct tape....... I heard vinegar will dissolve them too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanman August 31, 2009 Author Share August 31, 2009 They can be so capricious... I had one about 8-10" long slither between my fingers one day, and not leave a single bristle. This one was like 2" - in a hole on the bottom of a frag plug. and the instant I brushed my finger over him - Zzzzzap!!! bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveoutlaw August 31, 2009 Share August 31, 2009 Pour a glass of alcohol, preferably scotch, and use the duct tape method. Actually, pour 2 glasses......take a shot, rip the duct tape off, and then take another shot. Repeat until all are out......or you pass out.

treesprite September 1, 2009 Share September 1, 2009 Owie. What does it feel like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanman September 1, 2009 Author Share September 1, 2009 Owie. What does it feel like? Oddly enough - it feels just like it looks! Like someone put a dozen teensy tiny splinters into you. I used tweezers to pull them out, and then soaked the finger in vinegar. Seems fine now. bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davelin315 September 1, 2009 Share September 1, 2009 Gotta toughen them hands up! I get those all the time and don't feel a thing (come to think of it, my hands have been numb since I got my first bristelworm bristle in them a few years ago... ). I just rinse my hands in vinegar and then wash up. Kind of funny looking at them sticking out of my fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar Magnolia September 1, 2009 Share September 1, 2009 Lucky you Dave. I hate getting those stuck in my finger. Everytime it brushes against something it hurts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davelin315 September 2, 2009 Share September 2, 2009 Wow, I should have listened to Bob more. I accidentally brushed up against an arrow crab tonight and it got me. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | \/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilary September 3, 2009 Share September 3, 2009 Too funny, Dave! What I really find interesting is that rather than treat the bristles right away, Bob went and found a camera. He probably even posted before treating. WAY too dedicated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
