> foxtail grass
ah yeah we call this spear grass locally (and probably also foxtail) and never read what it can do. (spoiler below)
they can burrow their way into the bloodstream and travel down to the heart & lungs. So incredibly dangerous for something so pervasive and normal.
Pls use an image host that I can view without having to turn on my VPN - signed, a brit.
Super cool writeup! The helmet cam at the end was gravy.
Wherever the OP is, this feels very much like the kind of thing your local veterinary school extension office can connect you with someone to help with.
Foxtails hurt, the point is prevention not cheap surgery
