What's the most dangerous sting in the world? A giant bee, a cobra, black widow or a scorpion? All of these stings will be stressful but a doctor will help you out and you'll recover. But there's a sting you'll hardly forget and won't fully recover after. It's good to know what it is and never have to face it in real life. It's a sting of the most dangerous plant in the world. It grows in Australia and has a pretty funny name: Gympie-Gympie. It can be easily confused with nettle or burdock. And this plant is covered with a thin layer of fluff on its leaves. But don't fall into this trap and touch the fluff – it's extremely toxic! One man said he felt pain for two years after touching the plant. Let's find out more about it! #brightside TIMESTAMPS
