There is a clever trick that was on the list a few years back here:

PLEASE note the safety instructions in regard to the chlorine gas liberated with this technique.  Be very careful and do only if you have the proper ventilation and technical know-how

Well, is there anyone who actually takes a razor blade or scalpel and carefully excises those-- and then spot, I guess?  I'm curious if that's really a thing people do (can do), and-- if so-- any pointers?  I have a photography friend who has taken up pt/pd printing.  So he asked me about spotting-- but also about those potential little black spots.  This guy is a surgeon (micro stuff), so I told him I was sure he would have no problem taking a fine scalpel and cutting into those.
