Answer / Ganesh Soni
The prickly pear cactus (Opuntia spp.) releases a variety of compounds when its spines or glochids come into contact with skin. These include calcium oxalate crystals, which cause pain and irritation, as well as the potent saponic glycosides opuntin and globoidin, which can lead to allergic reactions and dermatitis.
