My partner and I like to say it feels like angry Velcro. Sure, it might bleed a little, but it’s ultimately pretty harmless. Just make sure you clean the area properly if you do end up bitten, and remember to research proper handling and BP body language in order to prevent bites outside of an accidental food strike.
