Cactus prick likely caused ex-NHL player Lyle Odelein's life-threatening infection
Former NHL player Lyle Odelein, who retired in 2006 after a nearly two-decade career, is facing a life-threatening infection after a spiky cactus pierced his leg. Odelein was playing golf in Arizona in March 2018 when he walked into the rough to retrieve a ball. That's when a small segment of cactus that detaches easily when it's touched, known as a 'jumping cactus,' lodged into his leg. The infection worsened causing heart problems, kidney and liver failure.
