This photo will give you some idea of the effectiveness of some of the cactus spines. This particular cactus has very long spines. However, from my experience, the long spines are quite easily avoided. I have only had a few mishaps over the years. But the small spines called glochids are much more annoying and harder to remove when you get them on your skin. One reason I like cactus is that they are well-protected plants. I admire self-sufficiency.
