I probably have looked like a crazy lady sifting through the grass patch (with my eyes) every time we've walked by it this week! I didn't know these were called "thorns" because they're so branch-like. We have them everywhere so I'm so glad I can be cautious and know what to look for if it happens again and it just might because of the fact that they are everywhere. We've had SUCH humidity this year, so sticky! Many flora and plant life in the neighborhood are acting unusual and I'm guessing it's because of this added moisture ... and don't get me started on the fleas! But luckily they are under control right now.

What do you use for antiseptic or cleansing for the honeylocust thorns? Has your babe had a problem with those? Thanks for your help!
