Doggie Ball Toxic?
Something to think about and maybe a reason not to eat snow cones that glow in the dark. No scientific experiment here, just kinda scary. I was playing crazy bounce-and-catch with the angel dog when a neon pink ball went over the side of the upper terrace and landed craddled in the arm of this guava cactus. I left it there for three days during which there was some rain. When I went to retrieve the prized ball I discovered that the living arm in which the pink sphere had rested–had begun to die. Where the ball sat was already flaking and black, dying brown streaks went down and up from the point of contact.

No other parts of the similar plants in the area were unhealthy and the arm of the guava had been green and strong like the others prior to contact with the chemicals in the ball. I’m making no claims. Just sayin’.
Probably this little discovery should stop me from finishing this bowl of Cheetos. But surely there are no artifical chemicals in Cheetos or hot dogs or those hideous orange rubber peanuts showing up at Halloween.
