Yes, you read that headline correctly: England does indeed have a "poison garden." It's part of the Alnwick Garden in Northumberland. It's literally just a garden full of poison plants. That's it. That's what you go there to see.

The special garden is "home to around 100 species of dangerous, toxic and harmful plants, each of which has the potential to severely injure you." It's, um, not the kind of thing you probably want to do on a first date. Or with your kids. Or any time. But it's interesting, I guess.

And now the garden is happily touting its latest brutal addition:

The Gympie Gympie plant sounds, to put it mildly, freaking terrifying:

Imagine being set on fire and electrocuted at the same time, got that image in your head? Well that is what an interaction is like with the native Australian plant Gympie Gympie...

It's so good to know these things. Apparently the plant was first discovered when an Australian road surveyor's horse was stung, went insane, and dropped dead in about two hours. This thing literally kills horses in less time than it would take you to watch Titanic.

(Thank kind of deadliness is par for the course Down Under though)

And man, it lingers. If you're injected with the toxins from this plant, they can stay in your body for up to a year and be released "during triggering events such as touching the affected area, contact with water, or temperature changes."

Ah, okay.

"Touching."

"Water."

"Temperature changes."

Literally three things that happen to you a combined 4,500 times per day. No big deal.

Just in case you're reluctant to come see this mesmerizing death machine, the fine folks over at Alnwick want you to know:

In some cases, it's been said that the pain is so intense it can lead to suicide!

Why do they seem weirdly excited about that?

Anyway, if you want to learn more about this insane place, here's a video showcasing some of their plants...
