Porcupine quills have antibiotic properties
Porcupine quills are coated with a strong antibiotic, which has been shown to effectively inhibit the growth of several bacterial strains. It sounds pretty contradictory as if porcupines are protecting their predators from infection, but their quills are most likely medicated for their own safety. Porcupines can often accidentally stab themselves, like when falling out of trees, which research shows tends to happen more than we think. Having medicated quills can therefore limit the damage.
