But, I don't think they are poisonous at all. What they are is a problem if you get these thorns into you because they are so brittle that the spines break off in your skin and you might have some of these spines under your skin for years and years. I might still have a few near my right knee from riding past a cholla bush on an off road motorcycle for example.
But, for me, the most dangerous place regarding Cholla Cactuses is when they have fallen off the cactus bush and are on the ground. Then they get barefeet, Sandals and ankles if your ankles are bare of even you are wearing socks they will go right through your socks. So, stay away from Cholla Cactuses because they have a way of jumping onto you. (At least this is what it feels like when this happens).
