Have you ever been stung or burned from a plant before?
Many
no but i’ve been stung by a wasp
Bee sting - the sole of my foot
The sole became completely white and no sensation. Weirdly, I felt no pain.
Nope
got stung by a jelly fish and once I got stung by a wasp 11 times on the head
"Zuko, remember that plant that I thought might be tea?"
"You didn't..."
"I did, *and it wasn't"*
Oof
Great episode lol

"[Something called "the Suicide Plant"] is native to Australia..."
Sounds about right.
YES
Everything in Australia wants to kill you. Fact.
Can relate I’m an aussie

@@TheRisskee clearly you’ve never seen a quokka only thing that’s not tryna kill u there
My husband works in an Australian Botanic Garden and they had a Gympie Gympie in one of the glasshouses. Over the years he started to feel ill being around it, and then two other gardeners had anaphylactic reactions working near it. Turns out the ‘hairs’ shed, which made sense, and could enter the respiratory system. Husband called time on it and they torched it
i'm surprised they don't have a national program designed to remove the plant from areas frequented by humans.
...well who knows. Maybe they do. But considering how many things there are in Australia that will f*ck a human up... they've probably got there hands full.
@@the503creepout7 Down here we don’t kill indigenous plants. Even snakes are protected fauna.
Oh god I couldn’t imagine the pain of inhaling this plant
from what i heard/read....not only do they shed but they stay "active" for years even if they are dried etc.
like someone had them like pressed flowers and it still stung
@@HeartTheBacon i'm an american. So maybe that's why my first inclination upon hearing about the gympie gympie is to figure out how to weaponize it.
i wonder if there'd be a way to make it into a mace spray. F*cking brutal.
Im Australian and my husband got stung by one of these on his leg Gympie gympies. He went to the ER when he first did it to get something for the pain but there’s not much you can do for it. 7 months later, he still has excruciating pain, especially when cold air or water hits his legs. The pain can last years. You got lucky.
has to do with what the needles are made from. its mineral so the body wont absorb it, but wont treat it as foreign for some reason?
Heres what you did.
"I rwead on Gwoogle that this pwant can cause pain for sweven (its usually labelled as nine so you were lazy in searching), so I mwade up a stwory for internet likes 🍼👶"
It's been 6 months since this comment. How is he now?
Why do Australians have the most horrible things
I've read about cases where the pain is terrible for months even sometimes years. These guys either faked this or got incredibly lucky
“Used the leaf as a toilet paper, ended up shooting himself”
Wow I felt that pain just by listening to it.
Gg bro. Gg
Ive also heard the same story for every plant leaf irritant.
Actually a true story sadly.
Hot needles every wipe and shower. No thanks.
@@bloodblade5860 No, it's just a myth.

“What do you think it tastes like?” “PAIN” I laughed so hard
"I eated the purple berries!... they taste like burning!" thank you, Ralph Wiggum.
At the beginning I was so nervous at how casual he was around it thinking he would just touch it on accident while moving his hands and talking
same.
Well, I learnt my lesson working on some old woman's flower garden, she kept that thing in a small pot and whilst I was removing weeds near it, my hand and part of my arm took a good generous brash. Lets just say, I had to pause for sometime.
Pain wise, my whole arm went numb and I thought I was going into shock and I was panicking because I did not know what I touched. Fortunately, I knew that unless sap had dropped from above me, then it had to be pins the plant below. I quickly rinsed my arm gently with soap and salted water to remove possible toxins on the arm and used light yellow light to check if I was pricked by something. It was easy to spot the problem on the boils.
My advice would be removing the pins as quick as possible, that's offers best relief than anything else but the pain tho. hmm
dude at the end I was so worried bro had t-shirts and shorts on and were chopping it with a machete what if one of the leaves or needles flew off and hit one of em.
@@samuelkundael3503 how do you remove the pins?
Also at the end when they destroyed the plant, could have breath something in or flicked it onto themselves.
"Not only do these peptides activate pain receptors, but they prevent them from turning off, too." - Wow, didn't know plants understood the concept of spite!
My thoughts exactly. How do plants even know how to do this?!
@@JayJay-ki4mi witch's curse
@@JayJay-ki4mi The longer the effects, the less animals interacted, the more long term versions of the plant survived. Survival of the fittest. As they were evolving, versions that had the pain disappear more rapidly were trampled on, eaten, nested near, etc until they gradually died out.

Back in Queensland, I saw a kid in a lot of pain after he brushed against some gympie gympie. An executive type bloke came over and asked what happened and as soon as we told him he inexplicably rubbed his hands on the leaf! I've never seen anyone go down so fast. I imagine a similar scenario played out every weekend.
I’m sorry but “executive type bloke tries to prove he’s tough and instantly regrets it” is just the perfect mental image ROFL 🤣
based
@@eroraf8637I'd like to imagine that he had a very important meeting he really didn't want to attend that day
I get stung by it occasionally and there's a lot of them where I'm from. It's not really painful and is no where close to the pain inflicted by a bee sting or a fire ant bite.
@@wokeydokey6885 do you eat it for breakfast too?
We went on a school trip to an area that had these. the guide showed us them and told us to stay away. Several kids thought it was a joke and had to have an ambulance called it was so bad. Also were it grows can have an impact on how bad it is. Growing it in a pot away from it's natural habitat probably made it a bit more tame than it is normally.
They had it coming,
You will be intrigued by the wilderness if your parents never take you on hikes
@@connergalles7106Hiking gang, assemble!
It's not as painful as a bee sting or a fire ant bite. I've been stung by it atleast 50 times throughout my life and the pain is easily manageable. My bike shed had them and i used to bump into them occasionally. Just leave it alone and it will go away in an hour. I never even cared enough to remove that plant either since it never bothered me much.

Agony even
My mom had this horrible cactus in the kitchen window that would sense your body heat, and "throw" its hairlike spines at you. It was also super itchy. This plant was also by the toaster, so sometimes it'd shoot you when you were grabbing your toast. I have no idea why she kept that thing.
What species? That’s pretty cool
This happened to me toooo!! My mom kept hers on the patio, so I would never go out
Thats like having an angry cat
My beloved pet cactus that hates me so much and shoots me with projectile attack
Thats terrifying and hilarious lol.
Yes, I have brushed up against Gympie Gympie of Queensland Stinging Tree, it hurts for days, then is itchy for a week or so. Not as bad as some people make out but not pleasant. We have lots of them growing in the bushland near where I live.
I think the important part is how much you touch. Small prick on the arm, sure thats not to bad. If its your entire back or more then its a whole diffrent problem.
There was experiment in Russia to use hogweed as cow food. Well, it didn't go well. Milk becomes sour when cows eat this plant.
And now we have hogweed as one of the most cancerous weed in some regions. It grows fast and becomes HUGE. And it is REALLY hard to deal with it without using radical measures like glyphosate. It is not a type of weed that grows on fields. But ones that grows along roads, villages and at forest clearings.
When dealing with it you MUST wear full clothes, preferably ones that won't soak at all. Even under sun. Because if any amount of this plant juice touches your skin, you become "light allergic". Basically this juice is quite harmless as long as it doesn't see UV light (sunlight). But it is really hard to remove, and as soon as light falls on this place, it will turn into acid leaving rash, blisters and days of pain.
@@detachsoup6061 not to mention if that broad leaf looked good as toilet paper
Different ppl different reactions
You hurt for days from brushing on them. The stories of people using them as toilet paper or having the needles go so deep that is impossible to remove them or for them to get out naturally are one of the most terrifying things.

I walked into a gympie gympie bush last weekend while trekking up a mountain (Australia). For the past few days the pain could be described as an itchy, deep sunburn. Wax strips are the solution! I've used almost an entire packet but I can guarantee they work (unless you've been really itching and rubbing the affected area). To my knowledge the hydrochloric acid and water solution should be used in tandem with the wax strips.
"What do you think it tastes like?"
"Pain?"

Apparently the collector didn't tell you not to set it on fire. Those needles don't burn easily, and can actually go airborne. You were very lucky not to breathe any in.

@@zentryn7400 ok
Im from Queensland, Australia and i lived in Gympie which is the town literally named after this plant, i got stung once trecking in the bush.. it must have been a big leaf and pretty bad because it was like being punched in the face, i fell down disorientated and later it became excrusiating for a few days.. it got kinda better after time, hot or cold water set it off again for like 2 years.. i got a coin sized numb spot on my arm that lasted almost 10 years and can still feel something wrong with my arm to this day.. super nasty and you would probly die from shock if you got too much
Can it be treated completely?
@@ButterBeanfromheavenFrom what Coyote has said, do not try to put water, duct tape comes first, if nothing is working, try the native strategy, if that doesn't work, seek medical attention.
@@tonychen3368What is the native strategy?
@@TeaCup1940Nothing much, just get tougher. I'm not from AU but there's a lot where I'm from and I've been stung more than 50 times throughout my life. It doesn't even bother me (or anyone in my place), we just leave it at that and move on with our life. Kids here play by sticking it onto each others (including me when I was a kid) and even though it hurts, they all end up fine, they don't even cry. The irritation will go away within an hour (maybe because we're accustomed to it).
I don’t understand how he kept saying he wasn’t worried because the Gympie Gympie only disturbs pain receptors, when it also causes severe anaphylactic responses in a high percentage on people who go near it.
Because they only touched it slightly and made sure to get the minimum amount on their skin?
I think that way of thinking actually saved them from a worse experience. It's kinda like it stopped their brain from understanding it could get that bad. Feel like that makes sense lol
This feels like something Coyote Peterson from Brave Wilderness would do lol
Probably too much for him

@@jonathanodude6660 Still wont feel any pain tho :D
May be very bad in regards to lung cancer however, similiar to aspestos but Im no expert on that field
I love that phrase "locally saturated" - like, it really gets the point across that the pain is in a tiny area, so it's manageable. But that if it were in a larger area, it would not be manageable. Like, a 10/10 pain would leave most people unconscious, or at least unable to speak in complete sentences. They'd either be unable to say anything or they'd be screaming incoherently in agony. But I can see how this could provide a 10/10 pain in such a small area that it can give context to what that level of pain feels like, without feeling it over an area that would cause the effects a normal 10/10 pain would cause. While all the pain receptors on your whole arm going off at once might make you want to end it all, having all the pain receptors in one tiny spot on your arm going off all at once wouldn't make you lose your mind, but it WOULD probably let you imagine what feeling that over your whole arm COULD be like.

As someone from the town of Gympie, named after the gympie gympie plant, I found this quite entertaining. Gladly, I've never had a significant encounter with one, but we were always on the lookout when bushwhacking through the forest. I did test out a different species of stinging tree on the back of my hand one time, and found that the pain in my lymph glands quickly matched the localised pain on the skin. And for a month or two after, every time I reached into a vending machine, it would disturb the spot on the back of my hand again, and give me another little dose of the pain.
Back in the 60s, a man touched the gympie and allegedly felt the full extent of the pain for 2 years. That’s sounds like nasty stuff. Australia is a beautiful place but there are some nasty things to look out for.
I once punched a Gympie bush by accident when I was cleaning up the forest around my driveway. It literally felt like a live grenade went off in my hand. The pain lasted for hours and could feel it month afterwards. 0/10 would not recommend
welp i guess that one used keeps

"the pain goes up to a 9 like a wasp sting"
Coyote Peterson: Really?
Note: Coyote is holding a Bullet Ant while looking at Backyard Scientist
Pain scales are relative. I've had 3 hornet stings in an inch sized area on my foot once. Would I rate it a 9? No. I've had my thigh, right below my hip, smashed by a large truck against a cement filled steel pole, had a hematoma the size of a grapefruit right where the thigh bends. That's MY 10. When I was a child a honey bee sting was my 10, which was then replaced when a nest of hornets got me for shaking their tree. I also ate a ghost pepper off a bush when I was 5. A wasp sting is about a 6 for me. I still don't like anything over a 2.

@@MrOarson well it’s useless if the plant is dead since it doesn’t prevent
@@theslamjamfrincisco2820 The poison ivy will return from seeds or come in from a nearby area again.
Burning Poison ivy causes swelling inside of the throat, quite deadly.
It grows as a result of an open canopy in the wet tropics. Gympie Gympie protects the next generation of trees from being eaten.

Okay, I love the Office Space homage at the end.
I loved the Office Space-style beatdown of the plant later in the video. xD
"the stinging persisted for two years and recurred with cold showers"
holy toledo...
@john doe Yup, you are right. Still a long time but not quite 2 years haha
@john doe i think this comment is referencing 07:10
@john doe nope just checked. It definitely says 2 years. That’s crazy
You'd think he would've tried taking warmer showers
@@levsco_ water would still cause the pain to shoot up regardless of temperature
The first minute of you by the plant made my anxiety level skyrocket
Depends on if you move against gympie's hairs or with the direction of the way they are angled,one way breaks them off into skin.The other direction causes minimal pain as most of the hairs remain on the plant.also sudden bumping of the plant releases the hairs into the air,which cause pain if breathed.and the poisonous hairs remain potent for years on a dead plant.
Explosives:need a license

Crush, toss at enemy, run.
probably still classified as assault if thrown at someone and i bet you'd be charged a lot of money for the pain caused. -10/10 would not reccomend
@@UnicaLuce Crush, mix with delicious smoothie, hand smoothie to enemy and pretend to want to be friends. Maybe take a fake sip. Then run?

Them stomping on it in shoes that I sure hope don't walk in their house or in their car that had me go eyiargh. Imagine walking barefoot and getting a gympie gympie limpie because you were getting revenge on a plant for a video.
you aren't using the arrows right
@@monkeymaster8342 right? Couldn't take the comment seriously because of that
@@SegmentAxis go back to plebbit
The hairs are on the bottom of the leaves, with the angle grinder they hit the stem, I would imagine it has no defense mechanism in the stem that will harm you if touched, most likely ONLY in the leaves
Just finished a rainforest hike in the Senic Rim, QLD, Australia. These things are everywhere.
Aaah the nostalgia of falling into these as a kid
Until the “Toe Stub” plant is discovered, I think this will take the crown.
It’s worse. The LegoStep plant. They put it in Legos to make stepping on them more painful.
Something more worse is a l a n d m i n e plant

the only thing i can compare this too is getting poison oak while wildland fire fighting. it started on my foot and managed to spread basically everywhere. i was severly reactive to it. and when i say everywhere, i mean it lol. it wasnt painful at all, just unbearably ichy. it took me nealry a month to completely get over it and i wouldnt wish that on my worst enemy. i can only imagine what this cursed plant would be like.
Loved the Office Space reference towards the end 👍

☑️ These remind me of stinging nettles, which also have tiny hairs that inject formic acid and other chemicals that cause itching and burning and bumps. People avoid them like the plague. BUT, they also EAT stinging nettle soup! You have to fully cook them first, which destroys the stinging hairs and the chemicals. Look up stinging nettle soup....
Pain
@@HighlanderNorth1 if I'm not stupidly making false claims here i think recognise that plant its abundant here in Sweden (and i assume other places are full of the nettles too) its not dangerous or anything you just regret that you ran through the woods without thinking of what you where doing and it itches for a few hours or so.
The itching rarely lasts a day or 2 but its not gonna get worse after that and making soup out of them are not weird at all its just common knowledge that gets shared around from stranger to stranger and "avoiding them like the plague" is a far cry from reality and in my opinion *(Echium vulgare)* or more commonly referred to as *"Blueweed"* (i will just call it *Blåeld*) is much more painful then the nettles just a slight feel from it and you start grasping your arm or wherever the plant touched you and you will soon refuse to move because of the itching pain
/Edit feel free to correct me if I'm wrong
@@TheFagerlund
Yeah, I may have exaggerated the significance of the effects of stinging nettles when I said that "people avoid them like the plague". Thats a well known cliche in America. I wasn't comparing nettles to plague, I was just pointing out that people who know how to identify nettles, will avoid walking through them. Here's what an extreme case looks like: czcams.com/video/MnBEYmbjdic/video.html
They have different degrees of effects on different people. The first time I experienced nettles, was when I rode a mountain bike through a patch of them in the middle of a trail that wasn't well used at that time. I felt the stings immediately, then burning, then raised bumps formed, then itchiness. It lasted maybe an hour or so, gradually decreasing in severity.
But every time I've been stung by them since, the effect has been much less significant. I barely get the bumps anymore, and the pain and itching are greatly reduced.
This is like a Hot Ones episode but with plants
