You can end up contracting cholla when you are always exposed to chemicals and particles that contain a particularly dangerous amount of cholla which can cause mild to severe symptoms of cholla in the first 24 hours.
The stem segments of this plant are loosely attached so when a person or animal lightly brushes the plant the segment detaches and attaches to whatever brushed the plant. The spines are barbed much like a fishhook so the segments are difficult to remove without tearing the flesh. It seems that the cholla 'jumped' when in actuality it did not.
blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh whoever wrote the line above this is a moron. the real answer is Chain fruit cholla is a synonym of jumping cholla. Its several names: Jumping Cholla, Hanging Chain Cholla, Chain Fruit Cholla, Cholla Brincadora, Velas de Coyote Cylindropuntia fulgida The plant adapted to life in desert: By its minor growth rate ( saves energy ) By its structure; it is composed of long, barbed cylinders that produce shorter barbed cylinders and finally circular barbed appendages called fruit, all these elements are optimized to store water. These segments separate easily so that animals, and even a strongwind can disperse them, they stick to the ground far away from mother plant, take root and grow to a new cactus. It has no leaves, only spikes, that prevents water loss by transpiration. The thick covering of spines shades the plant from the desert heat and also prevent animals from eating the plant. Green stems make food ( photosynthesize ), but lose less water than leaves because of sunken pores able to close in the heat of day. By Josh.K 2010
