getting poked by cacti
    #19166904 - 11/20/13 06:39 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

so for those of you that indulge in the cultivation of various cacti how often do you get poked and what are some tools/methods you use for handling them to avoid the poky poky?

for all y'all,    what's the worst poking you've ever had by cacti?
deepest poke? worst place you've been poked:ass:
most needles you've been stuck with?

Seems kinda relevant so I'll post it..

My brother when he was about 8 or 9 was climbing out the bed of a truck in New Mexico when he fell out backwards, he fell directly into a very large patch of cactus

Pretty much this:

He made things far worse when he tried to immediately get out of it instead of waiting for my dad to pick him up. I think he ended up with about 100 spines in him although my memory of it is kind of fuzzy. Me and my other brother were laughing our assess of at him although looking back on it now I see it was a very dangerous situation and he could have easily ended up blinded or something and I feel bad for laughing at him.


--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way.
I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today.
Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.


You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being
With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

oh shit! man I bet it would be very difficult to hold still whilst being fucked by spines!!
I can only cringe at the thought of that happening:eek:

what spawned this thread was a tricho var sedes damn near penetrating through my fore finger bout an hour ago. aahh it still burns!  fucker went at least 1/4 inch in my dang finger:(

I'm sure by no means it was as painful as your Lil bros experience!
I prolly woulda laughed a little too:shrug::lol:

If I'm handling large specimens, I'll wrap a towel around the stems at a good balance point and twist the two ends around each other to get some tension on it. I think use one arm (or one person) do move the wrapped end, and one arm (or person) to move the root ball.

I get poked from time to time. Usually it's more when I'm just being careless around them more so than when I'm doing repotting and stuff. The worst I've had was a spine that was below the soil line on one that I was repotting and loosening the roots. Stuck me good right in the tip of my index finger. Finally came out the other day.

I was cutting through the dunes along the beach in Rehoboth Beach, Del in the middle of the night and tripped and face planted right into some prickly pear cactus. Fortunately, the east coast variety don't have very long needles.

Shooting saguaro is worse than shooting people in Arizona.
