One paper cited in Mitchell and Rook notes that corneal scratches with the thorns led to blindness in 88 of 132 Irish accidents.

Among its many neurotransmitter duties, Serotonin works to modulate the sleep state. When Serotonin levels drop, one of the results is insomnia. Serotonin is one of three monoamines found in the brain. The others are dopamine and noradrenalin, formed from the amino acid tyrosine. These neurotransmitters promote over-arousal, tension, anxiety, and sleep disturbances. Serotonin offsets the effects of these chemicals. When you eat a high protein meal, brain levels of tyrosine rise and more of these neurotransmitters are manufactured than Serotonin. When you eat a high carbohydrate meal, the insulin secreted by the pancreas clears the other competing amino acids out of the blood and into cells. In other words, carbohydrates work to get tryptophan into the brain.
