They can be very annoying those thorns but as usual we have another worlds worst Smelly.

The world's worst "thorns" are arguably the venom-filled stinging hairs of the Gympie-Gympie (Dendrocnide moroides), which cause excruciating pain lasting for months.

I sprained my ankle having stepped and fallen down an animal hole whilst out foxing in the pitch black.. I was very lucky not to have broken it or snapped my shin bone..
The hole didn’t lead to anything, just the start of a dig, but was nearly two foot deep… Still limping, 9 weeks on.. Hadn’t been out on a farm for 8 weeks, venturing out only last week for the first time..

I did that a few years ago circa 2020 but the hole was a wombat burrow and I broke the ankle and ruptured the achilles,a truly schit time in my life. Crawled 600 yards home in the dark.

You were very lucky there not to have done some serious damage
, never mind being able to get yourself home.

not to have done some serious damage

eff me,it was serious enough lol. MONTHS ON CRUTCHES/REHAB...then being hospitalised again with a massive infection in the achilles op wound.However the serious part was that it curtailed my deer hunting until I bit the bullet and drove my manual hilux when wearing a moon boot.There isnt much space between clutch and brake in a normal boot let alone in a moon boot. It was a horrible time.
I have just revisited the below.

Thread 'Back at the ranch.'

Jan 25, 2021

Got back home yesterday arvo after four nights on my back in a hospital bed due to my recent Achilles operation wound becoming badly infected.
Points of my holiday below.
1 The last deer i have seen was the stag that i posted a pic of pre admission... bad withdrawal symptoms!
2 The impossibly loud snoring 140 kg sheila that sounded like an elephant seal bull on an antarctic beach looking for a shag....night and day!.
3 The constant interruptions for IV antibiotic drips every 'x' hours.
4 Then the in between interruptions for blood pressure tests every 'x' hours.
5 Elephant seal went home...
