If you have a cut on your finger and then get pricked by a tree with thorns and it becomes VERY swollen what can you do for it?
First, you have an allergy and probably an infection. You can take allergy medicine and you can put something like iodine on it. You are trying to clean out the infection. Then if it does not start going down you can get antibiotics. Depending on what you mean by very swollen, you can skip the allergy medicine and iodine step and go for the antibiotics.

Do you complain because roses have thorns or rejoice because thorns have roses?
Not all thorns have roses (example: briar bushes) and just because a rose bush has thorns does not mean it has roses. So the premise of this is illogical. You cannot depend on thorns to assume you'll find or see roses, that roses will ever be found or seen, or whether you're looking at a rose bush at all. The only logical answer, then, is to rejoice that we have gloves to hold a rose stem and snippers to cut off its thorns if present. But we also must appreciate that thorns serve a protective function for the roses we enjoy. For example, a deer's nose is awfully sensitive--when it comes to nosh (eat) a rosebud, its nose will get pricked by thorns so it learns to leave roses alone.
If poked by a Pyracantha thorn is it poisonous?
The poison in a Pyracantha is in such tiny amounts that being pricked by a thorn would not cause any problems. The above may be true but I have found on several occasions when pruning our Pyracantha that the almost inevitable pricks by the amazingly sharp thorns will often leave me with a very sore and red finger or arm. This goes away after 2 or 3 days. This is possibly due to the minute amounts of cyanide in the plants.
