The Manchineel tree (Hippomane mancinella) looks like a tropical beauty… but don’t be fooled.

It holds the Guinness World Record for being the most dangerous tree in the world — and for good reason.

Just touching its sap can burn your skin. Eating its fruit? Deadly. Even the smoke from its wood can blind you.

Found in coastal regions of the Caribbean, Florida, Central America, and northern South America, the Manchineel tree is so toxic, it’s often marked with red paint or warning signs to keep people away.
