@@FactFiend 😂😂😂😂
I lasted 43
I stayed until 2:05
I watched the intier video, just waiting for them to try the plant….. it never happened
I've encountered this plant on Koh Samui in Thailand. Whilst hiking through a rivertrail, one leaf touched my left thigh. Two weeks bedridden, vomitting, high fever, delusions, extreme pain, the whole package. Took months to get proper motor function back in my left leg.
No joke, this plant is seriously dangerous.
Cool fact: In older Thailand culture, heinous crimes where punished by wipping the guilty with the bush, and leaving them in pain. Lovely
Sweet, we should bring that punishment back. Rub it all over pedophiles’ and rapists’ dicks and vags, see how quickly those crimes stop
@@mexa_t6534 Dicks AND vags...
😢 progress, people.

Damn. Savage xD
Though it would fit these types of crimes perfectly.. I mean what does jail really teach people, a time off?
@@gajspalt
rapists and even more so pedos get regularly murdered in prison.
The tiny hairs on the gympie gympie are so fine that they can be caught by the breeze and be airborne around the actual plant. You don't actually need to touch it to be stung
Jesus Christ
No. NOOO. Just No
Just burn the hole of Australia down don't let anyone take the plant any where else if it can

Ahhhh, God bless
In Australia, all stinging plants have another 'antidote plant' nearby, within metres. My father was stung by a gympie gympie and immediately grabbed the antidote's leaf, and squeezed the gel like substance over the sting site. It quelled the pain. Just knowledge that's been passed down.
(Aussie here)

@@CreeketsCreek they said people can feel the pain for decades. And 100 years after the trees death the toxins are still active.
@@emperorpigbenis8766 decates is still not really eternal, but I get what you mean.
@@CreeketsCreek I don't know how long it lasts in the body, it still causes pain 100 years after the trees die so it could last 100 years
But also if you're immortal, you could just chop your arm off or whatever. Instant relief. Depends on what you mean by immortality, though.

Gympie-Gympie is the correct spelling.
When I was a child my appendix burst *in class*
Weirdly enough it just felt like a normal stomach ache, and the teacher (after not believing me at first) just sent me home without checking if my parents were home
I passed out on the couch from the pain, and had my parents gone for a coffee before heading home I'd be dead now
Needless to say, the hospital tore the school a new asshole for sending a sick 8 year old home on their own
Wdym they tore the school a new asshole
"Tore the school a new asshole" I'll be stealing that
Damn. That's amazingly irresponsible on the school's part. Yeah they deserved that.

@@rocknrevolt938 It’s amazing how bad adults who are supposed to look after children can be. I have a whole camp story I’ll spare you.
For the record, I would like it to be made clear that my client and friend Karl Smallwood was not being sincere in his scolding of me during this video and, whilst I appreciate the support from the comments section, it was merely a playful jab and... oh... okay... and he's also super awesome and a great boss and I'm a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt and my butt smells and I like to kiss my own butt.
Seriously, though, do people actually think I would leave him telling me off in the edit? I always cut those bits out...
I was literally going to say Karl don't be such a dick to Brad but I was debating with myself. It was hard to tell with that dry ass humor 😂 you two are amazing, thank you.

love you guys, don't i just don't know what i would do if this ever feel a part
Brad get your gal bladder checked out. I had a similar pain and it was due to gal stones blocking the bile duct and it build up and started to press against my back.
Fun fact, in the place called Gympie in Australia someone was murdered via wood chipper. Here in Australia we don’t have the 2nd amendment so we get creative.
If you outlaw wood chippers, only outlaws will have wood chippers.
He jumped into a wood chipper because it was the quickest way to die from the Gimpy gimpy
@Topgun God Great joke
I live there
Sooo... was it a concealed carry woodchipper or an open carry woodchipper?
I live on a large forested property in tropical Australia, and I literally have these growing in my back yard. What you didn’t mention is that these plants grow little berries that look exactly like candy. So not only do these fuckers sting like hell, they lure you in.
I have been stung once on the knuckles. It was burning pain for around 2 months, and I could still feel sensitive over a year later.
This video is accurate

@@Halcon_Sierreno

Been stung quite a few times and it sucks, but goes away quick enough. Never been unlucky enough to have the persistent pain.
@Halcon_Sierreno you would kill yourself to stop the pain, it's called the suicide plant for a reason
I thought this would be an article about the gimpy gimpy tree, a tree that bears full latex gimp suits instead of fruit.
I love Code Geass. It's stressful as hell to watch though.
@@DrCooch I don't remember asking.
Lelouch Vi Britannia 😂😂😂
It still makes sense. Since it looks like you will need a gimp suit when hiking through the bush.
Better be safe than sorry.
Funny to find someone with the power to order people to kill themselves on a video about a plant that can make you commit suicide
After watching this, I feel like I need a t shirt that says "I went to Australia and survived"
That's brilliant
I'm sure someone has made those lol
so far
@Paddy O'Yakkin I didn't know any of this...how am'I still alive...man get me a shirt too
In Australia there's a whole array of these bushes. You can tell them because they have a sort of 'fuzz' on them. It gives them a weird shimmer or shine. Funnily enough, modern video games that have characters with fur often make that shine over it for 'hyper-realism' but it's actually an effect in real life on a certain type of plant.
Basically we would see this 'shimmer' and know not to touch the plant, because one or some of these three things would happen:
1) You get stung, usually with the skin itching horribly for a long time
2) It's sticky and hard to wash off, and trying to push the plant off of you can be comical if it's sticky enough
3) Neither of those, but it feels surreal and gross, like a plant-based face stubble, so you genuinely don't want to touch it just for tactile reasons alone
So yeah, watch for the fuzzy shine, lads.
Pouring hydrochloric acid on the spot dulls the pain?! Wow perfect
Problem: my nerves are reacting to pain
Solution: So if I didn't have any nerves....

Well this plant releases its hairs into the air, so you don't even need to touch it, so the air can and will come for you
bruh its trying to, the smoke from the fires is so bad in the capital and sydney that people can't leave their houses and public places are being shut because the smoke alarms and sprinklers are constantly going off
... well with current 2020 insane bushfires here in Australia ... all our major cities are covered in dense smoke, equivalent to smoking 20 packets if ciggies a day ..... SO our 'air' currently does have the potential to kill!

I've been stung by these things a number of times over the years on the face, arms and legs and can testify that if you don't get the hairs out after a couple of hours the pain comes back when you shower or get wet for a good few years. Nowadays I take a small tube of silicon sealant with me and spread it across the sting then peel it off when it dries. Works like a charm.

"you just said people been stung in the face have people been stung in the butthole" This has never been brought up in a conversation I've been in lol. That transition is flawless.
Ok. I sort of have an answer. During military maneuvers during WWI or WWII an incident occurred. I'm not even certain it was either of those wars, btw... I read this a while ago, too. But, apparently, one of the soldiers was in the field and had to poop. He wiped himself with one of these. He ended up shooting himself in the head that night or the next day in the medical tent. I really don't remember much and would need to it again as it has been years. Some other guys were on a type of expedition a long time ago and one wrote about how he had to shoot one of the pack animals. It was stung and went completely berserk from the pain.
There was a bloke back in the 90s that wiped his ass with it. He lived and suffered in cairns for 2 years before overdoseing on painkillers.

My uncle was stung by this bush in his 20's. It took weeks for the pain to go away. He also said for about a yr after, every time it got wet, the pain would flair up again.
You should do one on the platypus. I saw an interview with this old guy that was "stung" by one. He said that despite the hospital pumping so much morphine into him, that they feared anymore would risk an over dose, the pain was still unbearable. And the only way that he could get some respite from the pain was for them to knock him out. He was a Vietnam vet that won a Victorian cross. He said he's been shot and hit with grenade fragments, but they were nothing compared to the platypus sting.

In the southeastern of Mexico mostly in the Yucatan peninsula, there is a native tree of that region called "chechen" (Metopium brownei) wich belongs to the Anacardiaceae family. Produces a toxic sage composed of urushiol and is irritant and burns the skin at contact, is also airborne near the tree, it can cause contact dermatitis on the skin. Fortunately this toxic tree has an "antitoxin" tree wich mostly all of the time naturally grows near called "chaca" (Bursera simaruba) wich sage can cure the burnings not only of this tree but also poison ivy irritations. This higly toxic tree was used by the Mayans to fight against the Conquistadors, planting thousands of this ones along their territories borders and chopping off all the antitoxin trees near by.
Haha wow, respect to the Mayans!
Why did they loose the battle? This was genius!

Funny thing is Gympie-Gympie is a member of the nettle family. Basically nettles came to Australia and evolved into Gympie-Gympies.

13:51 Gives “Fire in the hole!” a whole new meaning.
Planth Health student here, as for your question the Gympie Gympie (D. moroides) is officially a shrub (doesn't develope a robust highly lignified trunk, its slightly less woody) according to the Australian Tropical Rainforest Plants Edition 6 (RFK6).
So no it ain't a tree but since it can grow up to 3 meters tall thats a big ass shrub.
It belongs to the Urticaceae family (so yes its related to common British nettles) which also means it likely propagates like a weed and makes fruits like razberries (Urticas are in Rosid clade).... and u can neutralize the toxin with heat/fire.
Love the channel guys! great content.
Spot on mate... i have seen them fruiting, and they look like raspberries, but with the scary fibres all over them, a pioneer species that comes up along the edges of rainforest, and in disturbed areas, or everywhere after a cyclone.
There is another plant that grows close to the stinging tree called lucky boy, don’t know its botanic name, looks a bit like taro. The smashed root is the anti-dote.
@@Idunhoe i'm guessing there's no coincidence that its called the "lucky boy"
So what you’re saying the solution is napalm?
I had 4 abscessed teeth at the same time. Had to wait 3 months for oral surgery. Considered suicide as well as ripping them out with pliers. Felt like someone was stabbing a dagger enchanted with lightning and fire damage directly into my face repeatedly and viciously.
I was going to mention natural child birth (sans meds and such), but it's not needed. You win.
I've had ONE abscessed tooth. I cannot imagine 4 at the same time.
Oh no! I've had a couple and the referred pain due to the multiple sources is dizzying painful.
I always keep Antibiotics on me since that happened.

What about animals in the wild brushing up against that bush/tree? Damn it, I have to Google this now...
I would assume they're fine because of their fur. It's like that with poisonous plants in my home country. The animals are fine.
I've heard that around there, there are tales of animals getting stung and the pain was so severe they essentially forced themselves to gain enough awareness to realize that if they fall off a cliff, they'd die, and if they die, the pain would stop.
They mention it in the video
@@MusicalRiolu Pain: The great motivator
I'd imagine something like a pachyaderm would be alright. Lizards would also probably be ok.
When I was younger I fell in a nettle pile and thought that was horrific
I'm never touching a leaf again
We have nettles everywhere over here, they suck. Apparently you can eat them if you boil or cook them first to neutralize the needles...
You too? I did it on a hot summer day, tripped and fell into a nettle patch with no shirt on. I started running (and screaming) for home, got halfway there and spotted a big mud puddle. I tell you what, rolling around in the mud was SUCH a blissful feeling, it stopped the stinging instantly.
Of course, then I had to go home and explain to my mother why I was quite literally muddy from head to toe. That didn't go well either.
I stepped on nettle when I was a kid, I remember my mom using the vacuum's hose on the bottoms of my feet to get the stingers out. Ever since, I have refused to walk or be barefoot anywhere except the shower. I'm in my 30s now and I still don't walk anywhere, even my own room, without slippers or shoes on. Very traumatic, is what I'm saying, LOL.
Everyone’s talking about the pain of falling into nettles as a kid, I used to love picking the leaves while dragging my fingers towards the tips to stop getting stung. Holding a nettle leaf with your bare hands is like being a superhero.
"stung by all the wasps" - little black box and the bottom of the screen
every single one of them.
Should be used as a torture technique. Tell me the truth or get the gympie gympie !

😆😆😆😆 GOOD ONE!
5:42 most awkward moment I've seen today
As a kid, I went down a slide on a skate board, flew off the end and landed in a patch of nettles while wearing boy short shorts and a sleeveless t-shirt......... That was bad enough.
I remember when I was a retarded kid I dropped my toy gun into a big fuck off nettle bush when me and my pals were playing. I thrusted my arm in, grabbed it and threw it behind me and just rocked back and forth until the pain stopped. Yeah I was a mongo back in the day.
Hide and Seek in the dark.
Thankfully not a full nettle bush, one of its smaller cousins, but still, not pleasant. Legs took a beating.
Yeah but these were those cheesy loose sports shorts guys rocked in the 80's and 90's. Nettles right up to the scrotum. No cuts, no bruises but I walked home crying my eyes out with nettle welts on both arms and both legs from ankle to groin.
Oh and there were thistles down there too.
Also, this was in the early 90's and I was single digit ages, I think maybe 7 or 8 at the time.
It didn't stop me from failing at skating though, I went on to fracture my spine while on roller blades when I was 15. Really anti climatic story. I dodged traffic after jumping off stair railings onto a "closed road" that had ended up having the road works cancelled only to then have a stone chipping fly up into the wheels.

The more I learn about Australia the more I get the impression it's 'Living on Earth - Hardcore mode'
Worst pain: nerve damage I’ve had since a motorcycle accident 30+ years ago.
So if you're in austraila, don't touch random leaves? Yeah, that sounds reasonable. I don't do that in America. Don't want to eat no posion ivy
I was on a scout camp and we were gathering firewood for a bonfire. One genius decided that poison ivy would burn great on the fire, and nobody noticed them put it on the pile. Bear in mind this was a group camp, so all of our entire scout group (beavers, cubs, scouts, all the way up) are gathered around this one bonfire. It's burning for a while and all of a sudden the entire crowd starts coughing and wheezing. We never did find out who poisoned the group.
Don't fucking touch anything in Australia
But you'd still eat safe leaves?

To make the comparison of pain, that means that had to have happened to someone.
I think Abraham Lincoln's mom committed suicide from the Gympie-Gympie, may be wrong tho
@@darkability1393 Impressively wrong. Nancy Lincoln was a colonist in a brand new nation, she certainly wasn't going to a new country, on the otger side of the world that wouldn't be fully established until 90 years after her death.
She died from an infection that swept through her town. Not from a bush the only exists in a small part of a singular country far away from the rest of the world.
@@mitchwilliamson5552 lmao
@@mitchwilliamson5552 Nancy Lincoln died from "milk sickness".
The illness was caused by drinking the milk or eating the meat of cows that had eaten white snakeroot. The plant contains the potent toxin temetrol, which is passed through the milk.
So she still died from a toxin in an edible-by-animals plant, just a different one.
I read the title "Wicked Plants: The Weed that killed Lincoln's mother and other botanical atrocities", when searching up about the gympie gympie, and assumed it was talking about the Gympie Gympie in the title
You're quite a good guitarist btw.

Itchy grass was my childhood nightmare
I have been stung by the Gympie Gympie. It does hurt as much as they say. My first time I almost passed out due to the sudden and intense pain. I didn't know what caused it, it's not immediately obvious that it was the plant. Thankfully back at camp some people did know, and had tape they could put on my skin to rip the small needles out.
Well... that was terrifying yet informative. Mostly terrifying.
Then you should know that it exists a very effective treatment for it available!!
This is something that could come out of the SCP wiki lol.

I was stabbed on my forearm with a straight edge knife, from right above my wrist all the way up to my elbow. When I made it to the emergency room to get it stitched up, I could also see the muscle strands moving whenever I moved my fingers, it was pretty weird. Still doesn't come close to when I was rushed into emergency surgery to give birth via c-section. The way the doctors had the overhead light tilted I saw everything that was going on behind the sheet that was supposed to keep me from seeing it. I wanted to close my eyes, but I couldn't stop watching because I wanted to make sure my baby boy was going to be OK, and he was. 10 weeks early and only 3.8lbs, but he breathed by himself as soon as the 24hr period was over. Never needed to be on the machine again, just a little oxygen mask from time to time. That little soldier is going to be 17 in April, yet I remember that day like yesterday.

My worst painful experience has to be when I tried to run away at the age of ten...and wound up with the back tire of my bike being whalloped...by a speeding freight train. Because my parents[who werew following intheir truck] tried to warn me aobut it...
I was in the hospital for 3 weeks, getting the spokes of my back tire cut out and removed from my leg. was in a cast for almsot a year. Still have to walk with a cane everyday because of it.
...anyone else get a really awkward tension when Kyle starts getting angry about the camera focusing?
...I mean, one would expect that someone getting angry would create an awkward tension lol
@@Mercure250 Well yes, obviously. I was referring to the odd amount of tension relative to how small of a mistake was being made. From what I've seen, the set is usually pretty positive and any time something like a camera malfunction happens they work around it pretty easily; which made it so odd to see that much tension because of it. Not sure what you were confused by there bud.

This will blow your mind. The gympie-gympie tree is tame compared to one particular bastard creature in Australia: the stonefish.
This unassuming fish looks like a stone when you look down into the water, but it's covered in these sort of quills. **It is the most venomous fish in the world.**
It stings you when stepped on for daring to think it wasn't a fish, and the excruciating pain isn't the most immense by sting location, but it works its way across the body in a horrifying way. It works its way along your body and assaults your senses. It is so terrible that people are often put into chemically-induced comas to survive the pain, because the human body simply cannot tolerate the sensations and shuts down. That's presuming you can even survive the venom itself, which is considered extremely deadly.
Stepped on the spine of a ray as a boy, excruciating,
ok but can't people just have emergency surgery and a surgeon removes the affected flesh area, then the tiny needles will be gone too won't they? Like I rather have a hole in my arm where my flesh has been cut out then pain for 10 years. And considering how much pain the patient is already in they maybe won't even need to be sedated for the surgery, they won't even feel their arm being cut open due to the already 10/10 pain probably. But if they got stung in a weird area like the butthole then carving away a butthole won't work so then just suicide I guess.
Wax tape usually does the job.

Apparently u can remove it because it releases the toxins into ur body 😬
this, or just amputate the whole dang limb and call it a day until you can afford some bionics or other prosthesis.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW thanks for making all the lads that have lived in Australia there whole lives wanting to never go into the bush ever again
When I was in the Army doing training in Tully I brushed my hand against this bush. I stopped to see if I was bitten by a snake. It was painful for months every time I got sweaty or wet it would reactivate the pain. Never again thanks
I actually touched one of the plants as a kid, they had them in my primary school for some reason and I remember grabbing it directly with my hand. I only found out yesterday what the plant's name was. I can confirm this was the most painful thing I have ever had to endure, and I have also been stung by multiple Blue Bottle jellyfish at once before while swimming, which mind you did cause immense pain but nothing compared to the Gympie Gympie. Australia for ya I guess lol.
My question is why has it evolved to be so toxic and defensive?
It's in Australia... That's the only reason you need 😂😂
@@KingGaming001 Must be the continent Lucifer crash landed in 😋😅🤣
Because it lives in Australia and everything indigenous to Australia is toxic and defensive. That's why you dont eat Aborigines. They're the blowfish of humans!

@@OMartinez91 make it one of those heatproof suits scientists wear when walking around volcanoes then, just make sure its puncture/slash proof, then all you need is something to keep you safe from the animals that want to punch and kick you (anti emu/kangaroo spray? is that a thing?)
bread you might be better off building yourself an artificial body that you can control through VR and then locking yourself in you hotel and praying from it to stay safely on the other side of the door. But then you’d still be locked in with the vegemite in the hotels mini-fridge. So, can we really call that safe?
