I move my house plants outdoors every summer. I have a 6 foot Madagascar Palm that weighs over 100 pounds. I hate moving that thing. It's a challenge every time avoiding all the stickers. This time I was dragging it too fast and it tipped over into my head. Those stickers broke off in my scalp. It's the biggest splinter I've ever had considering those things are about the width of toothpicks and half as long. I was able to work one of them out, but I think there's a little piece still in my head. I can't really see it because it's over my ear, but I can feel a little bump that feels bruised. I wonder if it will ever work it's way out of my scalp or if I'll forever have a piece of that damn plant in my head. I read that ingesting it is poisonous. It doesn't say anything about having a piece of it stuck in your head.
I thought I should tell people what happened in case I die a mysterious death. You can have Dr. House check for Madagascar Palm poisoning. Seems like a pathetic way to die — impaled by a house plant. But it would make good TV.
