The thorn on the rose stem provides an excellent means of injecting infectious substances into the skin. For the health of roses, any treatment you use in the garden can cause an inflammatory reaction when scratched or stinging. So there can be a variety of bacteria and simple dirt. A fungus, Sporothrix schenckii, is notorious for this type of infection and is considered to be the cause of "rose picking disease".

If a thorn falls off your skin, especially if it goes directly into and deepens Pay close attention to the wound and ensure that the wound remains clean and healed in time. If it hurts, redness or swelling develops, or if the thorn is still embedded in your skin, seek medical assistance. Even small infections can form abscesses that need to be released to release excess material needed by the body to fight infection.
Spore filariasis
Sporothrix fungi living on rose thorns cannot survive human skin or nails, and other fungi may have little or no effect on host comfort or health. However, if the spore silk is injected into the skin by puncture, it can be converted into yeast and spread out of the original wound.
The most common infections
In most cases, when spore silk enters the skin, it can cause local but may be a chronic problem. At the wound site, it can cause ulcers, not only red, but pus swelling until they rupture and drain. It can also be passed back through the lymphatic system to protect the pus from infection, causing pain and swelling of the arm lymph nodes from the original wound.
Other Possibilities
If a thorn occurs in a knuckle that injects Sporothrix into the finger or elbow, it can cause a very painful arthritis infection. It can also infect the eyes and surrounding fragile tissues. Very few come from rose thorns, which can become systemic or systemic infections, including the central nervous system. Fungi also grow in peat moss and can be inhaled from it.
