Anybody know how to get bristle worm spines out of your fingers, was cleaning the tank yesterday and grabbed a clump of algae and it had a bundle of worms in it. My finger looked like it had hair growing out of it, its kinda sore this morning and a lil swollen. Any ideas?

They may dissolve in vinegar, I've never tried it. I usually hit it with cold water asap so your skin can push some out, like fiberglass.

I can usually get them off pretty well with a pair of scissors, just scrape em off

OWCH !!! Good Luck
