I picked up two ankles-worth of these tiny (but vicious) sand burrs while stalking a beautiful old tree in the middle of a corn field. Lesson learned - always wear socks. :)

We call them "goat heads"..Don't ask why, I have no idea. They hurt like mad! If you get them in your socks you have to hurt your fingers picking them out, so there is no good solution. #1410124

Oh boy, do they ever hurt. I resorted to brushing them off with a broom, with mixed results. #9686614
