You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I have to agree with the others, cutting the sea urchin out of your hair would be best - just a word of caution:

Be careful when handling the sea urchin - their spines can easily penetrate the skin and break off. Their spines carry venom/poison - if the spine breaks off in your skin it can release toxins that may cause pain.

If you are poked: Don't panic.

"Sea urchin spines and venom (released from seizing organs called pedicellaria) are not lethal. The injury is very painful but the spines are made mostly of calcium carbonate, so they can be dissolved in the body over time. Different sea urchin injuries are more severe than others."

* You may want to do a picture search on google images so that you can identify the type of sea urchin you're dealing with.

"Do not worry about any purple/black dye released into the skin, it should disappear in a few days. If you're injury is less severe, the spines will probably dissolve or your body will eject them in 3 weeks."

Let your doctor know, he may want to prescribe antibiotics. Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

This has got to be the single oddest question I've ever read here.

Cut the chest hair, unless you want the urchin to start smelling after a bit, looking like a chainless necklace and smelling unspeakable.

Then imitate the professional swimmers and shave it all. Let it come back next winter if you still want it!

It is dead, yes?

I would treat it like I would if someone got gum stuck in their hair. Cutting it out would be the easiest solution. You're not overly fond of a hairy chest, I hope? **shudder**

Put on some thick gloves, grab it, and pull. Like a band aid, just do it quick and don't think about it. When you're done, please post pictures.

Take a lot of pictures, cut the hair and bring the damn thing to a taxidermist.
This bugger should be on a wall display!
