In 1941, an American soldier shot himself when he went to the toilet in the jungle after eating a bad stomach, but he shot himself when he went to the toilet in the jungle. Why is that?
It's hard to imagine that there is such a plant in the world, this kind of plant is completely full of burrs, after touching this kind of plant, you will feel unbearable pain, during World War II, you can directly let a soldier shoot himself, what is going on?
One day in 1941, an American soldier was on a secret mission. He was in charge of patrolling the camp with his comrades, and he himself had been having diarrhea because he had eaten something unclean at dinner.
While on patrol, he felt unbearable pain, so he temporarily left the group and went to the woods not far away to solve the problem. But when he finished solving it, he was surprised to find that he didn't bring paper.
Just when he didn't know what to do, he suddenly noticed a particularly short plant growing not far away. The leaves of these plants are very large and thick, and they can be used as toilet paper.
Without hesitation, the American soldier folded a few leaves, wiped them hastily, lifted his trousers, and caught up with the group. But soon his adverse reactions began, and he felt a lot of pain in his buttocks.
And this pain made him scream directly, and all his comrades-in-arms were startled by him. Everyone hurriedly asked him what was wrong, but the American soldiers couldn't say why.
The other comrades-in-arms had no choice but to carry him back to the camp and call for a military doctor. When the medic arrived, the U.S. soldier explained to the doctor that his butt felt hot and painful.
The military doctor hurriedly examined him carefully and found that he had a very obvious wound to his anus, which looked like he had been poisoned.
But because he didn't know what kind of poisoning it was, the military doctor had to give him some tranquilizers to relieve his pain. But after taking the drug, his pain did not lessen in the slightest, but became more and more painful.
He always wanted to touch his wounds, but every time he touched them, the pain became more intense. This pain has been tormenting him, and he has been sweating all the time.
The military doctor was also at a loss when he saw this situation, so he had to keep giving him analgesics. Eventually, after being tormented by unbearable pain, the American soldier chose to have his comrade hand him a pistol. Under the gaze of all his comrades-in-arms, he chose to shoot and ended his painful life.
Some people may think that this description is too exaggerated, but it is not. This type of plant is actually a thorn tree, which belongs to the genus Hemp in the Nettle family.
Mainly grown in Australia and Southeast Asia, its main skill is pain. And the one that the American soldier took belonged to the most painful of this type of tree, and its name was the goldenbark tree, which is also known as the most painful tree in the world.
This type of tree looks harmless on the surface because its leaves are heart-shaped. But in reality, it has a huge leaf all over it, and it is covered with burrs that make life worse than death. This plant is mainly found in northeastern Australia, the Moluccas, and Indonesia. It is currently recognized as one of the most poisonous trees in the world, and its poison can poison a strong horse.
These trees are generally not very tall, only about 1 to 2 meters. The trees are covered with small burrs that penetrate the skin and release toxins.
The presence of the Golden Bark Tree is a deadly threat to any living being. If you have a strong patience, you may be able to barely survive after a few months of patience. But there is a good chance that it will relapse after a few years, and you will need to endure the pain of piercing the heart for a few months again.
Some people may think that it is exaggerated, and think that it hurts to be stabbed by a tree. But in fact, according to the researchers, an ordinary thorn tree feels like being bitten by 30 bumblebees at the same time.
But this kind of pain is nothing compared to the pain of the golden bark tree. After being bitten by the goldbark tree, it felt like soaking in sulfuric acid and then sitting in an electric chair, and the pain was unbearable.
The American soldier just couldn't bear the pain and finally chose to shoot himself. Others were able to endure it, and in 1963, a ranger in Queensland Park was stabbed by a goldbark tree.
For the next three days, the ranger couldn't sleep in pain. And this pain has been going on for two years, and there is no way to relieve this pain.
In 1941, a soldier passed by a river in northern Queensland. At that time, he accidentally fell on the thorn tree, and then the pain was so unbearable that the hospital forcibly tied him to the bed for three weeks to get through the pain.
Macmillan, who first discovered the goldpi tree, explained it to his boss in 1886. When the horse he was riding was stabbed, he went berserk and died two hours later. And according to McMillan, there are many local stories of being stabbed by a goldbark tree in Queensland.
Therefore, you must be extremely careful when encountering similar plants, and at the same time hold your breath. Because there is a good chance that there will be these small burrs in the air, which can enter the nasal passages by breathing, causing a series of uncomfortable symptoms. If you are pricked by such small burrs, go to the hospital as soon as you feel unwell.
