You are most likely referring to Kudzu.

There is some debate as to whether or not they do much for testosterone production. Or, at least, whether or not eating them is more effective than standing on ‘em and letting the rage flow.

Evil little buggers.

Yes — I have had to delete a fairly non-stop stream of spam advertising “hardening agents for men” or sports performance enhancement drugs based on Tribulus.

Of course, there don’t seem to be any legitimate medical studies backing said claims.

Well if it was only common knowledge that this evil vine was also an aphrodisiac we probably wouldn’t see it growing wild anymore. It would be a sched III drug. Seriously though, if you google it you will see that it is cultivated and sold as a supplement to increase testosterone production in men.

Looks like something out of the AD&D Monster Manual, like the Piercer (carnivorous pseudo-stalactites that drop on the unwary)

n[ate]vw - i love using the boiling water. promptly kills leafy stuff and stems. but, i seriously doubt there is much pentrating heat to the water, doubt it stays hot enough long enough on a seed (protected by its thickish hull).

We’ve got those up here in central WA, too. I’ve pulled at least one that was as tall on my 6′ frame as the one on Roger. If a bike salesman here tries to upsell you into resealing tire tubes, it’s for your own good. I think they’ve changed my gait around the house just enough so that I can pull back up when one finds its way under my heel in the living room.

@don d: Do you think boiling water would also kill the seeds? If not caught early enough, they leave behind a horde of those little “caltrops”.

Good eye — Caltrop is another common name for Puncture Vine.
