This tree is probably the most painful tree in the world!
If you don't take any precautions, or even just approach the tree, without waiting to touch it, you can already be threatened by it, which can cause itching and rashes, or at worst you will be in pain.
Okawa is not exaggerating, this tree is the goldenbark tree.
Goldbark tree
An American soldier once wiped his buttocks with the leaves of a goldbark tree, but his buttocks were so painful that he could not bear the pain and had to shoot himself.
So, what exactly is the origin of the goldenbark tree?
What happened to American soldiers
The story of this American soldier was provided by a retired American soldier named Cyril Bromley.
According to Cyril, the story took place in 1941.
At that time, the U.S. military unit stationed in Queensland, Australia, was on a mission, and the soldiers needed to cross the Barron River.
However, in the area they passed, there were a large number of goldenbark trees, which were regarded by the locals as demonic beings, and it was said that they could easily kill people invisibly, so no one dared to approach the place where there were goldbark trees.
During the crossing of the Barron, Cyril was stung by a goldbark tree, although he had been cautious.
He still can't forget the pain caused by the golden bark tree, and the sting was like being roasted by fire and being electrocuted, and the pain went straight to the tip of his heart.
Cyril, of course, was lucky.
A soldier named Terek was not so lucky.
During his patrol, he suddenly felt a pain in his lower abdomen, and he couldn't hold back and went to the nearby tuba, and only after he finished doing it did he realize that he didn't have any paper on him.
At this moment, he saw many heart-shaped leaves on the nearby goldbark tree, which were wide and large, and the surface of the leaves was still hairy.
Terek thought to himself that it would be comfortable to use this leaf as a tissue, so he took it off and wiped his buttocks.
To his surprise, this wipe became the biggest nightmare of his life.
The moment he wiped his buttocks, he regretted it, and in an instant, his buttocks hurt like fire, and he rolled in pain.
The terrible howl attracted the attention of the other soldiers, who hurried to check on the situation.
When I came to the scene, I saw that Terek didn't even have time to put on his pants, lying on the ground and rolling around with his buttocks.
It's hard to imagine what kind of pain made him ignore even the most basic dignity......
Although Terrec was taken to the nearest medical point, the doctors were helpless to deal with the situation.
Eventually, unable to bear the pain, Terek chose to shoot himself while everyone was not looking.
How much can a goldenbark tree hurt?
Speaking of which, the behavior of American soldier Terek is actually understandable.
Marina Hurley, an Australian entomologist, has explained this phenomenon.
Because, she herself is a victim of the Golden Bark Tree.
While doing research in the Atherton Highlands of Queensland, Marina was accidentally stabbed by a goldbark tree.
Although she was eventually rescued by the hospital, she still remembers the pain that pierced her heart vividly.
According to her description, after being stabbed by a goldbark tree, at first there will be a burning sensation in the part of the stab, followed by the pain of being squeezed by a door, and then the whole body will be soaked in sulfuric acid, like being shocked by a powerful electric current, making people desperate to the point of wanting to commit suicide, as if this is the only way to get relief.
Why is the Goldpi Tree so scary?
The reason why the goldbark tree is so scary is related to the surface structure of its leaves and branches.
On the surface of the goldenbark tree, there are a large number of burr-like structures, and the tips of these burrs are not plant cell structures, but silica, which is made of the same material as glass.
These burrs can easily fall off when exposed to external forces, even wind, and once they get on a person's skin, they may pierce into the skin cells.
On the one hand, it is difficult to eliminate the body through metabolism after piercing into skin cells, and on the other hand, the tip of the burr also contains neurotoxins similar to those in spiders, scorpions, etc.
When these neurotoxins enter the human body, they can quickly irritate the sensitive nerves of the person, causing people to feel that life is worse than death.
This is also the root cause of the pain of the golden-bark tree......
Write at the end
It is worth mentioning that although the golden bark tree is terrible, it is not distributed in our country, and is currently only abundant in northeastern Australia, the Moluccas, and Indonesia.
So, in our lives, we don't have to worry about encountering this plant.
Of course, although there is no goldenrod tree on the mainland, it does have nettles, which belong to the same nettle family as the goldenbark tree.
Stung by nettles is no more painful than a goldbark tree, but it is no less unbearable.
It can cause large itchy red spots on the body, and even anaphylactic shock and even death.
Therefore, it is still necessary for everyone to walk around when they see nettles......
