Here's a video I made at the time of Eddie's incident. At the end, it shows the type of foxtail I'm talking about. These are green; the ones Eddie got into were drier and more brittle.

Yes, a foxtail is a kind of grass, so it will look like any other kind of grass (with coarser leaves) until it flowers. The foxtails in Mike's video look more like squirrel tail barley, but no matter what you call them, they are dangerous. I'll try to attach a photo to this post...
