Do Not Eat, Touch, Or Even Inhale the Air Around the Manchineel Tree. Seriously, don't even think about it.
Bonus: Adam After Being Poisoned By A Manchineel Tree In Antigua, in which the amazingly upbeat Adam kills time on the trip to the doctor by documenting for posterity the effects of touching his face after picking up one of the fruits.

Hmm, I just read this article before coming here. So the manchineel tree is endangered, at least in Florida. Will people band together to protect it, even though it regards us as a minor obstacle in its plan to kill all mammals? (Also, the double is good too.)

How is it that this tree doesn't originate in Australia, the very source of all lethality?
