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.

Confederate general Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson, April 1863. Jackson, who earned his nickname at the Battle of First Manassas for standing firm "like a stone wall", became one of the best-known Confederate commanders after General Robert E. Lee. He played a prominent role in nearly all military engagements in the Eastern Theater of the war until his death, and had a key part in winning many significant battles.
