Most Agonizing Plant in the World #gympie #plants

This horrifying plant causes so much unbearable pain, it is called the "Suicide Plant."

Known as Dendrocnide moroides, or commonly Gympie Gympie, it is found in the rainforests of Australia and Malesia.

It is covered in tiny, fine hairs that act like hypodermic needles.

If you touch it, it can inject venom that can cause nauseating, excruciating pain that can last for months.

The pain has been described as "being burned by hot acid and electrocuted at the same time."

One man reportedly shot himself to end the pain after he accidently used the Gympie Gympie leaves as toilet paper.

Some people still feel the pain up to 2 years later.

During WWII, a soldier who fell into a Gympie Gympie bush screamed in pain for 3 weeks tied down to a hospital gurney.

The British Army was interested in researching Gympie Gympie as a biological weapon in 1968.

Gympie Gympie can shed its hairs into the air, so just standing around it can cause painful nose bleeds.

If you're stung by the hairs, the only way to remove them is to rip them out using something like a skin hair waxing strip.

The Gympie Gympie actually bear fruits but you'd be crazy to try eating it without removing the hairs!
