Are those pins(?) also excruciatingly painful? You’d need steady hands and a needle to pull them out if they stick to your skin.
@Deus people keep them as pets and I guess they handle them with care. The spines aren’t poisonous but might cause irritation if they pierce the skin.
Worms, lots of worms with spikes
