00:00The most painful plant on earth, the terror of Gympy Gympy's hellish needles.
00:04Found in the rainforests of Australia, this is the Gympy Gympy plant.
00:08At first glance, it looks like an ordinary harmless leaf, but don't let that fool you.
00:12The leaves are covered in microscopic needles packed with a deadly neurotoxin.
00:17The moment you touch it, a hellish pain begins.
00:19Victims describe it as being burned by acid while electrocuted.
00:23Painkillers and anesthesia are completely useless.
00:26The agonizing pain lasts for months and in severe cases for up to two years.
00:31One woman even stated, it's far worse than giving birth.
00:34There's even a tragic story of a soldier who accidentally used the leaf as toilet paper in the forest
00:38and ended his own life just to escape the unbearable agony.
00:42As a final chilling fact, during World War II,
00:44the British military seriously considered harvesting Gympy Gympy needles
00:48to drop them from the air as a biological weapon.
