Damn it… Now I am wondering what a pitcher plant would do to a penis.

It would be like sticking your penis in pineapple juice. It contains digestive enzymes that are very similar to stomach acid. The reason that butterwort (another carnivorous plant) is called by that name is that you can use the plant’s dew to curdle milk. Just like how you can use acid or enzymes to cure food, it would cure your penis. Not very quickly, but it would happen, and that tingly, prickly feeling of eating a pineapple that you get on your lips and in your mouth when you eat a bunch of pineapple at once? That would happen to your penis, but it would happen faster, and burt more, because the penis is a very sensitive organ.

volume I of the book “Science For All” from the 1870s has an entire chapter on carnivorous plants, and they give a fascinating description of how you can cure meat using sundew or butterwort dew
It’s not every day that you come across enticing recommendations for 19th century nonfiction, well done! 😁
