I once had a very large thorn imbedded in my knee. If you can find an old coke bottle or other glass bottle with a small round mouth this is what got it out for me.
Boil a pan of water
Insert the round opening a few inches into the water
When it is just as hot as you can stand place the mouth of the bottle around the site of the glass
If you repeat this several times the suction from the bottle will draw it out.
Soaking the skin in water first will sofen it up and expedite the extraction.
DO NOT BURN YOURSELF!
