Are the thorns of cactus poisonous?

As the Internet continues to invade our lives in modern society, many of our friends are addicted to it and cannot extricate themselves. They often play games, chat and watch videos online. Therefore, many friends will put some cacti indoors to achieve the effect of removing radiation. This can also purify the air very well. So are the thorns of the cactus poisonous? In response to this question raised by everyone, let me share it with you in the next period of time.

The thorns of cactus are generally non-toxic, but some cacti contain alkalis, which can cause redness and swelling of the skin after the thorns enter the skin, making people feel pain and itching. If not handled properly, it can also cause redness, swelling or purulent infection.

First aid methods:

Clean the wound and wash the puncture site thoroughly with running water and soap. To remove the thorn, use tweezers or a thorn removal tool to pull the thorn out in the direction it entered. Be sure to pull it out cleanly and never break the thorn. If there are multiple puncture wounds, or the wounds are contaminated or not disinfected properly, oral antibiotics can be taken to prevent infection.

Cacti are generally non-toxic, but some contain alkalis, which can cause redness and swelling when the thorns enter the skin, making people feel pain and itching. If not handled properly, redness and swelling or purulent infection may occur. First aid method: Clean the wound and rinse the punctured area thoroughly with tap water and soap. To remove the thorn, use tweezers or a thorn removal tool to pull the thorn out in the direction of insertion. Be sure to remove it completely and be sure not to break the thorn. When a soft thorn of a plant is stuck in the flesh, you can use a small piece of medical tape, stick it to the thorny part, then bake it over a light bulb, and then quickly remove the tape. The thorn will be pulled out with it, reducing your pain. If a bamboo or wooden stick is deeply stuck in the flesh and is not easy to pick out, just drop a drop of soybean oil on the pierced area. After 4-5 hours, the thorn will protrude and it will be easy to pull out. If there is a thorn in the nail, soak licorice in water to soften it and stick it to the affected area. After 2-3 days, the thorn will naturally come out. If a fishbone is stuck in your hand, dip cotton in vinegar on the pierced area, wrap it with adhesive tape, and the fishbone will be softened and disappear. Disinfection and anti-infection: After the thorn is removed, disinfect it thoroughly with 3% hydrogen peroxide, and then apply a bandage after disinfection; if there are multiple puncture wounds, or the wounds are contaminated or not disinfected strictly, oral antibiotics can be taken to prevent infection.

I believe that through the above sharing, most of our friends have their own unique insights and more standard answers on whether the thorns of cactus are poisonous. Of course, what I want to tell you is that cactus not only has a good effect in removing radiation, but also has many medicinal values. Of course, it also has its own contraindications for use, which requires everyone to pay wide attention to it in daily life.
