1. With Red Berries of Rosehip (Rosehip)

Rosehip , also affectionately called “ Ass-scratcher ” for its itchy effects, is a component of choice for successful pranks. Here's how to exploit this wild fruit, step by step, and even as a bonus, transform its pulp into a delicious jam.

Where to Find Rose Hips?

Before you start making, you need to know where to find these little red pearls. Rose hips come from the rosehip, a wild shrub that flowers in summer and whose fruits ripen in fall. You will find them in abundance in hedges, roadsides, and clearings in temperate forests . Their bright red color makes them easy to spot among the foliage.

• Juicy Harvest: End of summer and beginning of fall are the ideal times. Opt for very ripe fruits, they will come off easily and their deep red color indicates a high level of natural irritants.

• Natural Drying: Let them dry naturally in the open air, on a tray covered with a paper towel, away from direct sunlight. Absolutely avoid the microwave; Excessive heat can alter the irritant properties of the hairs. Allow approximately two weeks for complete drying.

• Careful Extraction: Gently opens the dry rose hips to access the seeds surrounded by hairs. Immerse this mixture in a container filled with water, allowing the hairs to break away and float. Carefully remove the seeds from the water, then leave the container in the open air. The water will slowly evaporate, leaving behind the bristles dry and ready for use. This process may take a few days, depending on the humidity and temperature conditions of the room.

• Conservation and Use: Store the hairs in a small airtight bag. They are now ready to be used for your pranks. A pinch discreetly placed in clothing or a bag will be enough for a guaranteed effect.

Bonus: Rosehip Jam

Don't throw away the pulp! Rosehip is rich in vitamin C and offers many health benefits. Here's how to turn it into a delicious jam:

• After extracting the hairs, use the remaining pulp for your jam. Cook it with water and sugar (to your liking) until you obtain a thick consistency.

• Pass the cooked mixture through a sieve to remove the seeds and obtain a smooth texture.

• Place in a pot and let cool. This jam is perfect for breakfasts or snacks, bringing a wild and original note to your table.

By following these steps, not only will you have pulled off a memorable prank with the scratching hair, but you will also have helped to promote natural resources by concocting a jam full of benefits . This is the art of pranking with conscience!

2. With glass wool

Glass wool, typically relegated to the attic for its insulating properties , has unsuspected potential for prank lovers. Here's how to turn it into a secret itch weapon, while following rigorous safety measures.

Processing Stages

• Safety First: Handling glass wool requires precautions. Wear thick gloves to protect your hands and, if possible, safety glasses to protect your eyes from irritating fibers.

• Material Preparation: Use scissors to carefully cut a small piece of glass wool. Make sure you are working on a clean surface to make it easier to collect cut pieces.

• Obtaining the Powder: Between two sheets of sandpaper, rub the pieces of glass wool. This action requires a certain delicacy to transform the material into a fine powder without creating large agglomerates.

• Storage and Preservation: Pour the finely ground powder into a small airtight bag. Proper sealing of the sachet is essential to avoid any untimely leakage of the powder.

Directions for Use and Precautions

• In Case of Contact: If the itching sensation becomes too intense, it is recommended to take a shower immediately to wash the affected area and remove all traces of the powder.

Here's how to take advantage of it for a memorable prank, while respecting nature and your friends.

Extraction and Preparation of Muscat Pea

• Maneuver with Caution: Wear gloves to harvest and handle the pods. Extracting hair requires special attention to avoid accidental irritation. This is the time to show delicacy and precision.

• Application Strategy: With the hairs in hand, choose the right moment to discreetly introduce this natural irritant into your target's environment. A hint is enough to trigger a surprising reaction, guaranteeing an instant "burning" effect.
