The ones Eddie got into had already gone to seed, so they were drier and looked almost like wheat.
The problem with them is they travel only one way once they enter the body. The prickly spines keep them from reversing course. They can enter the body from any location, the paws, ears, eyes, you name it. The nose is one of the worst places it can enter.
