Wild Palm with thorns

This is one of the most fearful plants in the tropical secondary forest. If you are not observant and grab the stems or leaves, you can imagine what will happen. Besides, the plant also produces small stems (about 2mm in diameter) hanging across or around the plant, and if it hits you face, it will be a line of wound. Once the stems stick to your cloth, it will be difficult to remove. If the little thorn gets into the joints, it may cause thorn arthritis. The would may take one or two weeks to recover.Therefore, it is better to stay put at night if you get lost in the forest. Always wear protective cloth, large hat, wrist cloth bands and gloves
