The Plant with a Sting Like Fire
The Gympie Gympie is renowned for its excruciating and enduring sting and the pain 

The sensation is described as a combination of being burnt with hot acid and electrocuted. An alleged incident involved a man shooting himself after using a leaf from this tree as toilet paper. The tiny hairs on the Gympie Gympie's leaves and stems contain a potent neurotoxin called moroidin. When these hairs come into contact with human skin, they inject the toxin, causing an immediate and excruciating pain that can last for days, weeks, or even months in some cases.
