Does your country have a plant that was investigated for the possibility of being a biological weapon?

Meet the the Gympie Gympie. One of Australia's most poisonous plants which has sent people insane with it's sting and was investigated for the possible use as a biological warfare weapon by the British Army in the 60s. It's sting has been compared to feeling like acid burning your skin off and being electrocuted at the same time. It has killed humans, horses and dogs. The only way to somewhat soothe the pain is to wax the affected area. However, Australian Aboriginals are brave enough to eat the berries that grow on the plant.

 

No wonder Australia is dubbed as the "Land of Painful Deaths"
