This plant is part of painkillers and reduces the likelihood of heart attacks. They can scare away bears and not very nice people. It can cause a burning sensation in the esophagus, terrible pain throughout the body and such a surge of heat that Joan of Arc experienced at the stake of the Inquisition. Have you already guessed what plant we are talking about? The well-known pepper is capable of all this! Plants can scratch, cause irritation or terrible allergies. They can be daring, cunning, and sneaky. And some can poison and even kill. Do they really do this just to annoy people? What are the plants we know capable of and what is the hidden meaning in this? Are they created by nature or man? You will learn about all this from the popular science thriller by Katya Astafieff.
