Yes it's better to take injection.
Cactus spines are not poisonous. However, bacteria and fungi on the spines can cause infection to your body. In themselves no, however some have barbs that pull the needle further into the flesh. This often leads to foreign material getting in and/or infections.
So take TT injection
