 And I was wondering why the special precautions with agave? The contain no 
 thorns or stickers. The points of the blades of the leaves are very tough 
and 
 can jab you a good one but they are hardly dangerous enough to demand the 
 precautions you suggest when handling. In fact, pineapple leaves have far 
 more potential to do physical damage than agave blades.

Some of the agave plants out here have very fine "hair" on the blades, that 
is devilishly difficult to remove from flesh.  There seem to be hundreds of 
varieties of agave here.  Every landscaper seems to have his own special one. 
 The reason for the comment was because I had a run in with one of these in 
the not too distant past.  That should discourage me from trying to steal a 
cutting for a while.
