Sometimes soaking in a hot bath will get a thorn out. One of my enduring childhood memories is getting a thorn stuck in my heel, and being absolutely TERRIFIED when someone (Dad or Grandma? ) mentioned getting it out with a needle. Mom dumped me in a hot bath and the next thing we knew the thorn was just floating around in the water. The heat had swollen it out.
