Can hay give you splinters

Answer 1

Hay itself typically does not give splinters in the same way that wood does, but it can cause skin irritation or minor injuries due to its coarse and fibrous nature. The dried stalks and sharp edges of hay can sometimes scratch the skin, particularly if handled roughly. Additionally, hay may contain foreign materials like thorns or sharp pieces of straw that could potentially cause discomfort. It's always a good idea to handle hay with care and wear gloves if necessary.
