    I just brushed up against my Opuntia cactus and am trying to get the microscopic quills out. I’ll try duct tape, thx!

    It’s amazing the amount of times I’ve thought “it’ll be fine, I don’t need gloves” 🙄😂

    SAME. That's why I bought these tongs to hold them. I got tired of feeling like I was continually at the Drs.

    Oof it hurts so much. My smallest cacti, which is less than an inch long, is more dangerous than all of my other cacti. I named him pokey, because a single brush up against him will give you like 50 spines. I found him one day when i was out in the woods. I sat down on a rock and accidentally placed my hand on him. I then was so mad I kidnapped him and he lives here now, obviously against his will.

      Lmao, that's the best story. These were from a purple prickly pear, so unassuming. And most actually came from the paper towel it was wrapped in.
