So 6 days ago I hit my hand on this catcus. I removed some of the spines but couldn't find the others. 3 days ago my hand started to get red and swollen with a bit of pain but today I have no pain or anything.

I am sure I have at least 2 spines there. They are on the little finger tendon almost at the wrist.

Should I try and remove then or at this point just wait for my body to expel them (will it) ?

Also I am curious to know what type of cactus is this. Hitting the catcus made me interested in knowing more about cactus I actuallly think they are pretty cool. Btw sorry for the bad grammar, thanks

    That’s an Eve’s Needle cactus. Scientific name is too complicated for me. This cactus is fast growing, produces many arms and very easy to propagate.
