One of those horrid thorns is painful, I can hardly imagine the pain all of these!
When we had the local La Bocana bike club, one of the kids fell onto a cactus. I think it was in Guerrero Negro. He ended up going to the local
clinic.

What's with the guy picking them barehanded???
Brave soul, is all I can say.
Reminds me of the time when I was a little kid and all the other kids were tossing rocks at a bees nest in the ground
Turned out I was standing right over the top of the nest.
My grandma dumped me in the bathtub and tweezered stingers for a long time (which is the wrong way to remove a stinger.... just injects more venom
when you tweeze)

Those of us that have hair will probably carry a pocket comb. Me? I carry a Leatherman tool. I've had to use it more often that I care to admit...

Except for the spines left behind, then you're forked! I always have a leatherman or needle nosed pliers on hand for when my doggie companion
discovers the chollas.

I'm always wearing a leatherman so that is my tool of choice. My dog is smarter than I am, I've picked far more of me than her.
