WARNING

If you live in Arizona you probably know it is wise to avoid the "Jumping Cholla".

That's a member of the cactus family whose parts are only lightly connected to the plant and if you come into contact with one, even lightly, it will attach itself to you.

This hiker has just learned that lesson as the police try to decide what to do next.

Are you sure that isn't a prickly snake, or a feather boa, or a Hawaiian lei?

I always carry a little pliers when I hike in the desert because of those rascals.

Wow--try to read the thoughts of those emergency responders. Their expressions are amazing.

That's an awful lot of light contact! Looks like he was rolling in it.

Poor guy. How do they even get him to medical aid?

He will need a sedative and pain killers, and then the process can begin?
