We have something similar here in the Ozarks. Not sure how far spread these things are but the Honey Locust tree will ruin your day if you bury one in your foot, dogs foot, or anywhere else. They're not poisonous but they take a long time to heal and hurt like hell for awhile. Buried one about 4 inches deep in my calf just beside my shin bone once. Took well over a month to heal.
The damn things stay sharp for a long time after they come off the tree.
