A member asked:

Will there be any problems in leaving a tiny rose thorn in my foot?

Possibly infection: This can and may lead to infection which wouldn't bode so well for you. What also can happen is that the body may wall off the foreign body and will feel like a pebble that you are constantly walking on. If it cannot be removed with tweezers, see a podiatrist.
