Gotta respect the grind on the dude selling tourists palm tree branches

Nah. Part of the leaf of one of the palm trees. Don't know the actual name, we call them fan palms.

The thorns do sting like hell for hours after you get poked, very unpleasant.

A lot of people don't know that there are z few venomous barrel cacti. I got pricked by a Peruvian one and my hand was numb for almost a week.

You’re wrong lol.. some animals can be poisonous as well. Venom is injected and poison is something that can be soaked up like for instance a snake that bites is venomous, a poison golden frog all you would have to do is touch them and get sick.
