We have some cactus that looks hairy like that growing around here. Kids thought (after they were warned) never to touch it. They didn't believe us and thought it was too soft to be a real cactus. It left hundreds of very fine little hairs embeded all over their hands. Worse than fiberglass. Thanks for sharing.
