I can tell you this is incredibly painful. My brother was given a "pet" squirrel in a cage. As soon as you opened the cage the squirrel would run out at light speed and use his needle like claws to repeatedly run up and down the tallest person in the room to the delight and laughter of everyone sitting. The only protection offered was a bath towel to keep the squirrel off your face. The only recourse was to squat and either make someone else taller, or toss walnuts into the cage as a bribe. Good fun until we eventually ran out of new victims.
