Lore

 * Waxthorns description states "Pod with a thorn and strong suction at the bottom. It is suspected of excreting a poison when disturbed, but reported effects have been inconsistent".
 * Kavin Arent at the Burrow comments "Waxthorn is manageable enough, so long as you don't poke yourself with its thorn. It excretes some kind of poison, but there's no known antidote. Just wear a suit when handling it and you'll be fine".
 * Solveras states "As for Waxthorn, it is most likely to be found on planets that are arid or extrememly hot. The thorn on the Waxthorn's pod has been known to cause unpredictable or even lethal effects. Please, exercise caution and it shouldn't pose you any harm".
