Not on account of the walking sticks. Safe as houses, those are. Stay
away from the tree asps / asp larvae though. Had one drop down the back
of my collar one time - ouch!

ooooh yeah. My ex father-in-law had one fall down his shirt when he was
mowing the lawn - he literally thought he was having a heart attack as it
stung him in just the right place to make his left arm feel like it was
going numb. That coupled with the pain sent him to call 911.....not a fun
experience!!
