Everglades National Park is home to the world's most dangerous tree. It’s called the manchineel.

The tree’s sap is toxic, and it's present in every part of the tree. Touching the tree or eating it’s fruit will cause blistering and in extreme cases death. Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon is rumored to have been killed by an arrow from a native that was covered in the trees sap.
