A British botanist, 49-year-old Daniel Emlyn-Jones, has grown the ‘world’s most dangerous plant’ in his home in a cage marked with a ‘danger’ sign. It is said to be is capable of delivering a sting like ‘being burnt with hot acid and electrocuted at the same time’. The venomous plant named 'Gympie-gympie' stings so bad it can lead to months of pain leaving patients unable to sleep. In some cases, the intense pain can lead to suicide.
