A mother who fell on “the most dangerous plant in the world” says the pain is “worse than childbirth”.

Naomi Lewis got off her bike in North Queensland and luckily had something soft to cushion her landing.

Unfortunately, it was the gympie gympie plant.

Known as the “giant Australian burning tree” for the extreme pain it causes, it is a member of the nettle family.

The plant injected poison into Naomi’s skin, resulting in six months of physical torture.

She told ABC News: “The pain was just unbearable.

“The body reaches a pain threshold and then I started throwing up. I have four children: three cesarean and one natural.

“None of them come close at birth.”

After Naomi fell on the Gympie Gympie plant, Naomi’s husband rushed to a pharmacy.

They bought hair removal strips to get rid of the massive buildup of burning hairs on their skin.

An ambulance then arrived to take Naomi to a health center in Cairns and she was later transferred to another hospital for further treatment.

She spent seven days in the hospital before going home with a pack of painkillers for six months.

Unfortunately, Naomi’s situation is not very rare, as others fall prey to the stinging effects of the plant.

The plant, which grows in the rainforests of Australia and Malaysia, causes a sensation people describe as being “burned with hot acid and being electrocuted at the same time.”

It can also cause sneezing, allergies, red rashes and swollen limbs.

A little closer to home in Britain, a man made headlines after planting the gympie gympie plant because he was “bored”.

Daniel Emlyn-Jones of Oxford even said he wanted to add “a little drama” to his gardening.

Instead of planting orchids or a fiddler fig tree — considered one of the easiest fig trees to care for — the 49-year-old decided to plant a member of the nettle family.

He said: “I just thought it would add a bit of drama to my gardening. You can get seeds online, but you have to be careful not to spread them from a confined space, so I keep them in a jar in my living room.

“I’ve always loved plants though, I’m just a little tired of geraniums.”
