The Gympie-Gympie, also known as The Suicide Plant has a powerful sting that victims claim causes severe pain for several months to several years after exposure. In this episode we’ll examine some anecdotes of people who have been stung, what their symptoms and adverse reactions were, and if there’s any truth to the legends that the pain of the Gympie-Gympie has led humans and animals to end their own lives. You won't want to miss the stories of this horrifying plant!
