hi all.
some junipers contain a minute toxin , and needles are the injection system.
these are high altitude desert plants, usually, growing in marginal
conditions. this "stinger" is to ward off predators. some individuals are
more sensitive to it than others. some folks also, are sensitive to spider
mites, and will itch and redden when they fool with infested junipers.
