    My leg
    So on Easter I got cactus in my leg, and it got in pretty deep. It also has left a big bruise. I have seen a doc. And they didn't find anything. Got any ideas on what it is?

    I may have an idea. Like Rose Thorns Catus thorns may have some amout of poison in them. Not enough to kill anyone off course but enough to do funny things to our skin.

    For example I got stuck by a rose one day and for that entire day my hand was numb. I have been stuck since and not gotten the same affect, leading me to believe that either A. that rose was particularlly potent, or B. I grew amune to the poison/toxin after the first poke.

    It would stand to reason, that with cactus having thorns for a natural defense that they may contain a chemical that doesn't agree with your body or perhaps hurts muscle tissues. I am not sure.

    Could be as simple as it was really deep and is still healing though. Easter wasn't all that long ago and for a deep wound I could understand not being totally healed yet.

    I'm sorry, I don't understand. Got any ideas on what is? The cactus, the bruise. Could you please be a little more specific? Thanks.
