Hokay kids, it's time for more weird nature. Innocent looking? It's part of a manchineel tree. Also known as manzanilla de la muerte, little apple of death. Hails from the Caribbean. Eat the fruit, your throat swells up, and you can die. The only animal immune to the poison is the blue land crab. Eat the crab after it's been nomnoming the fruit, and you get ulcers. Stand under the tree in the rain, and water trickling off the leaves will burn you with toxic latex. Cut the tree down? Sap squirts out, you get caustic burns. Burn the tree to get rid of it? The sap goes airborne. Burning lungs and blindness. You can probably handle the dry wood with your bare hands. Try not to rub your eyes, though. Anyone want an apple?
