Cold Poison Discovery: Unveiling a Deadly Plant in Alpine Regions

Dr. Jack R. Sanders discovered a cold poison in the subalpine, montane, and foothills life zones on Nov 2, 2009. This plant, capable of causing radical itching, keeps people away due to its toxic properties, distributed by glands and tendrils. The adaptation of insulation and poison chamber ensures its survival in harsh environments. Learn more about this deadly plant and its life cycle stages.
