Tropical Australia hosts another dangerous plant—the gimpy gimpy (Dendrocnide moroides). Its leaves are known to cause excruciating pain that can last for weeks or even months, leading to stories of historical figures succumbing to the agony. Touching this tree sends neurotoxins coursing through a person's skin, inducing unbearable sensations. Despite its painful effects, some animals have developed a tolerance to its toxins.
