I'm glad you got those quills out safely! Your FML reminded me of something that happened to me as a child... I ended up getting a toothpick lodged halfway into the heel of my foot.

I can relate to both of you. I got a toothpick almost completely embedded in my heel once. My husband had to use pliers to pull it out. I also got a sewing needle stuck in my foot right under my toes while I was pregnant. Both were extremely painful experiences. Glad you are okay.

I can relate to the sewing needle. I managed to get one lodged in my foot eye end first...hurts just to think about it.

I'm cringing so much at these stories. I'd tell my own but there's so many! Lol! I did manage to get a belt buckle lodged into my heel once. My boyfriend had to hold my leg in place while he wriggled it out of my heel. D': I'd still prefer that over quills and sewing needles though!

Sympathy cringe...

Porcupines are the third-largest rodents in the world, with a coat of sharp quills that protect them from predators. These quills are made of keratin, the same material that makes up antelope horns. Porcupines are native to both the New World, South America, Southeast Asia, and Europe. They can grow up to 120 cm in length and can weigh up to 40 pounds. Finally, male porcupines have a mating process that revolves around urinating at high speed onto females. Hope you learned something!
