Best Answer

Following first-aid procedures and seeking professional help are what to do when one is scratched by a palm tree thorn.

Specifically, first aid involves cleaning the wound with mild soap and water and covering the affected area with a medicine-cabinet antiseptic. Depending upon age and health, the patient may opt for professional help through a combination of emergency services, hospital emergency room, and medical appointment. The wound must be checked professionally since a thorn often leaves parts inside the opening. The fact of the contact and the possibility of plant parts within the wound need professional follow-up since bacteria may be present and infection may ensue.
