Few can imagine that something as innocent as an ordinary tree can cause suffering.

In a small area between the southern part of Florida and the South American continent, the Manchinella tree can be found – one of the most poisonous plants in the world, whose fruits are called “little apples of death”.

All parts of the manchinel tree are highly poisonous – not only its fruit, but also the bark, leaves and even the juice, which can be dripped on vacationers who want to hide from the sun in the shade of these trees.

If there are no warning signs, you may find out about contact with this tree after it is too late… Because every part of the tree can be fatal not only to humans, but also to animals.

The taste of the fruits from this tree is sweet, which perhaps slightly overshadows the bitter consequences that occur after tasting them – several hours of excruciating agony or death. Soon after eating it, a strange, peppery tingle is felt in the mouth, which turns into burning, followed by a sensation as if the throat is being torn in half. Soon the symptoms intensify to the point where the pain becomes unbearable.

If you find yourself in a place where these trees grow, stay away from them.
