If you come into contact with barbed wire, it will be painful and will most certainly break or penetrate your skin. Because the steel used is frequently rusted and not sanitary, this results in wounds, bleeding, and the possibility of infection. Barbed wire fences are considered hazardous fences. The barbed wire barrier is adjacent to a park. Anyone who comes into contact with it may be injured by it. Barbed wire hurts whether it hits bone or not. It's designed to do so, after all. Its barb-like projections catch onto clothing or skin, causing pain when pulled off. They can also cause cuts if someone tries to cut themselves free. The more exposed you are to barbed wire, the greater the risk of being harmed by it. For example, people who work on farms are likely to be injured by it. Those who live near barbed-wire fenced properties could be harmed by it too. Children should never be allowed to play near barbed wire because they could put themselves in danger by touching it or pulling it. People often ask us if they need to worry about cancer due to exposure to barbed wire. The short answer is yes - if you pick up barbed wire you should use caution to prevent being cut by its sharp points. But considering that it takes years for cancer to develop from exposure to barbed wire, we don't consider this to be much of a threat today with modern safety standards.
