What These Transparent Spiky 'needles'?

[scooter blenny]

thought i would like to share my experiences.

recently, i "clean up" a LR in a pile. I removed the LR and there are some small, sand like pieces. I used my fingers to swipe them into a dustbin.

thats where i got those transparent needles in my fingers. I learened the idea of running my poked fingers through my hair here. But i do not want those needles on my head.

So, i sat under a lighted room with a box of tissue. sheet by sheet, i gently brush those needles towards the flow of needles. i.e. use 1 sheet and brush once only, brushing depending on the positions of most needles. for example, if most needles points downwards, stroke the tissue from up to down once only.

hope this will help some of us here.

the moral of this sharing is: do respect the ocean creatures

I heard there's another method..

Get sticky tape, as sticky as possible, apply over affected area and then rip out.... BY RIGHT, the spikes will come out with the tape...
