What do you think the end of their horn looks like in magnification?

Yes. Remarkable things: the little ball at the end breaks off when the plant is brushed, and that leaves a sharp tip that can then puncture the skin, and also exposes the hollow tube for the poison to then move through.

And the poison is a histamine, which absolutely boggles my mind.
