A man in the UK planted "the most dangerous plant in the world", the poison of this plant can cause painful stinging and even cause suicide thoughts. This shrub, also known as "Australian Thorn", is a plant similar to nettle , which can sting and feel like "bombed with hot acid and electric shock at the same time". It is known as the most poisonous plant in the world.
Oxford-based online mentor Daniel Emlin Jones, 49, placed the toxic shrub he cultivated in a cage marked "Danger". He said he hopes to promote interest in plants by cultivating unique flora. "I don't want to show up as a lunatic. I'm doing this in very safe places. Some botanical gardens have specimens of this plant." Australian Thorn is a plant of the Urticaceae and is found in rainforest areas in Australia and Malaya (including Philippines , Borneo, Sumatra and Bali). If touched for even one second, the tiny hair-like needle will bring a burning feeling that will intensify within the next 20 to 30 minutes. Pain can last for weeks or even months, making the patient unable to fall asleep due to pain and even in some cases suicidal tendencies. Victims of the plant reported that they would sneeze, develop allergies, develop large amounts of red rash, swollen limbs, and are very painful.
Although plant poisoning is not common, some cases have to be hospitalized due to their severity. There is also a plant - the Dendrobium genus plant, which was found in Australia, its origin. In 1866, a road surveyor's horse was stung, went crazy and died in two hours; another horror story told by Australian World War II soldier Cyril Bromley was that he fell into nettle while training, which took him into madness after weeks of pain and ineffective treatment. Another soldier reportedly shot himself after accidentally using nettle as toilet paper.
Last year, Daniel was pleased to see that after years of attempts, he successfully planted this crazy plant in his garden.
