Those Pricks are no joke – The delights and dangers of drinking Prickly Pear Margaritas
My husband and I were traveling through Puglia, Italy- and the most beautiful Prickly Pear Cacti were everywhere. What else could we do. We pulled over on the side of the road in a deserted area- and carefully and gingerly picked some. Unfortunately, as careful as we were- we were not careful enough- and tiny invisible little needles poked into every part of our hands. Ouch- AND they can easily transfer to other parts of the body- really awkward for gentleman that may have to go to the bathroom! Such a thorny issue! (Prick Bastards!)
BUT dealing with a few pricks here and there is part of life! What do you do?
