For cactus lovers and collectors, handling these unique plants can be rewarding, but it comes with a hidden risk: sporotrichosis. This fungal infection, often dubbed “rose gardener’s disease,” can also be contracted through cactus spines. What Is Sporotrichosis? Sporotrichosis is caused by the fungus Sporothrix, which thrives in soil, plant matter, and decaying vegetation. It enters the body through small cuts or punctures, making cactus spines a potential pathway for infection. While many associate this infection with roses and gardening, cactus enthusiasts—who frequently handle spiny plants—are also at risk.
