I trod on a sea urchin a couple of weeks ago and there are still some spines in my foot, how can i get them out? They're quite deep, is there anything I can put on it to get them out?

You need the help of A&E at your local hospital. Some sea urchins spines have toxins and you should go soon. If they are quite deep, you need to cut into the wound to get at them. Not a job for yourself or amateurs.
