The Tree That Will Leave You Blind 

"I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees. Except that one. That one speaks for itself."

You'd think a radiologist would be smart enough not to eat a random fruit they found lying on a beach, but I guess not...

I love how some people see a random fruit and go "mmm _FROOT_ " and proceed to eat it

A man woke up, he died an hour later

This tree is endangered AND endangering

1.) Don't touch it 2.) Don't let the sap get on you 3.) Don't eat the apples from it

“Oh look a tree” *starts climbing “Aaahhhhh”

The trees aren’t harmed when the Lorax is armed.

I applaud the medicinal use of pina coladas.

I live in Florida. When they take people on airboat tours they warn about that tree and its fruit.

I ate the apple of death in Nayarit México and by a miracle I survived. I asked an old man sitting outside of his heart if these little apples were okay to eat he said "si" but immediately after I swallowed one my stomach burned and I was throwing up. Luckily there was a doctor that gave me a pill after I told him what I ate. I spent most of the day throwing up. But thank God I didn't I

technically every tree can leave you blind if you jam one right into your eye

I remember when Thoughty2 covered this a few years back. This tree is basically Earth's fury and hatred in a tree. Seriously a messed up tree.

I usually listen to this type of video like they're podcasts, but's really nice to see Brew animated in this one.

"Forgive the jest if I say that it is the only tree that can carve its initials in you." ~ quote about the manchineel from _Wind Across the Everglades_ (1958)

“Ummm a random froot. Better eat it” so this is how American cheap horror coming from

Watching the beginning of this video, I was literally saying “MANCHINEEL? MANCHINEEL? MANCHINEEL?” after every single word he said. Manchineel trees are my favorite trees of all time. I just think it’s cool, might seem kind of weird considering how dangerous it is.

What's scary is from the picture it looks similar to a weeping willow, which is probably the gentlest tree you can find, so it's not like a lot of plants which looks extremely toxic.

4:54 thought it was my youngest cat, Raven making that noise at first, he's always making that noise when he's watching bugs/reflections on the ceiling, wanting treats, etc(mainly treats)

“Luckily this tree will probably be on the other side of the earth” … “Well, I’m frightened.”

me in the beginning: hopefully i never have to deal with this tree speaker: it is most cencentrated in the florida everglades

First, The beach that'll make you old and, now, the tree that'll make you blind

If I'd eaten one and it caused that much pain I'd go to the hospital to get it tree-ted.

that floridian looking for the 20 footer python better be carefull :P the trees are out to get us

Der Manchinelbaum, auch Manzanillobaum oder Strandapfel[1] (Hippomane mancinella), ist eine Pflanzenart aus der Familie der Wolfsmilchgewächse (Euphorbiaceae). Er kommt in Florida in den Vereinigten Staaten, auf den Bahamas, in der Karibik, Zentralamerika und im nördlichen Südamerika vor.[2] Er wurde auch in Westafrika und auf den Galápagosinseln eingeführt.[3][4] Der Name „Manchinel“ (auch „manchioneel“) kommt vom Spanischen manzanilla („Äpfelchen“) und von der oberflächlichen Ähnlichkeit seiner Früchte und Blätter mit denen eines Apfelbaums. Der heutige spanische Name ist Manzanilla de la muerte („Äpfelchen des Todes“). Dies bezieht sich darauf, dass der Manchinelbaum einer der giftigsten Bäume der Welt ist.

The Lorax hath blinded thee!!

"oh no, a storm! i better take cover under this tree in the water."

You told us a lot about the fruit being poisonous except what causes it to be poisonous. Was curious about the chemical.

This sounds like an scp

Haven't been here for a while and am totally happy to see Brew and his crew again ^^

yep, there are a lot of these in florida where i live

Good to know, surprised it was not from Australia.

"yo bro look at this cool tree" "What is-? OH GOD I CANT SEE

I saw these trees one time when I went to Costa Rica, I kept my distance as I heeded the warnings.

I've walked through so many of these trees without even knowing how dangerous they were. I'll be more careful now. Thank you for this. - Salty Florida man.

It makes poison ivy a saint (but itchy) by a comparison.

New fear unloked never comeing near a tree even some tree is safe

Yeah let's protect something harmful to us.

How was I born and raised in SWFL and never taught about this tree?!? We used to fish by the mangroves.

Interesting video. I wonder if the voynich manuscript contains details on this tree.

"Grade-A Tardigrade"

Funny thing the place where I am is currently having a downpour 😂

Interesting that Juan Ponce de Leon died thanks to an arrow whose tip was poisoned with Manchino sap 🤔

I really wonder what caused this tree to develop this type of defense system.

Leaf me blind.

It kind of reminds me of the oleander tree, everything about it is dangerous.

... Eating random fruit ... Ironic.

Lol i grew up in a town where those trees where found everywhere 😂 i never realise those were toxic trees i use to hang in the branches with friends

They should have called it the Lorax's revenge.

The worst part is the fact the fruit apparently tastes good, isn't our sense of taste supposed to *_prevent_* us from injesting poison!?

I'm curious how the natives were able to get enough of the sap to coat their arrows with it being so dangerous

That tree really doesn't like anyone.

You are a DOCTOR. Why would you eat a random fruit you found on the ground?!?!

0:24 sounds like my luck on a daily basis

When trees fight back

werbbrew

Considering the amount of danger surrounding the tree, i'm surprised there hasn't been any documented case of people making weapons from it.

A new video with a new weird medical condition

What adult, let alone a doctor, just eats an unknown fruit they find on the ground? We teach 2-year-olds not to do that.

The introvert of all trees lol

1:37 as a Caribbean letting you know it’s pronounced “toh bay go” not “toh ba go” just saying

This tree evolved to survive against humans

Do they still use the other characters for these videos?

eco-friendly mustard gas

Phew good thing i never go outside!

Eating a random fruit is forgivable if you are really hungry and there's no other food around, but eating it out of curiosity is a different story.

This was a story in my English star test lol.

I stop my adventurous eating things outside at crabapples beyond that it will never enter my mouth 😂

Ayo why couldn’t you hold your laugh when you mentioned Leon’s name?? 😂😂👏

Sh!t that's in my backyard. Not literally, but I live in the applicable region.

IS NO WHERE IN THIS WORLD SAFE!?

the eye on the banner is hurting my stomach

5:12 how about we eliminate that tree and replace it with other similar but no toxic ones?

Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm bad at poems, microwave.

It's only endangered in Florida. It isn't endangered anywhere else.

HAHA the computer said what I was sayin much love

To avoid this tree: Don’t go into swamps correct right?

Yeah I agree, Pina Coladas are pretty good for soothing Super Poisonous Mutant Fruit.

Nods respectfully... at tree?

Southern North America and Northern South America are the last word I hear before lost consciousness

No photograph??!

new fear unlocked

I live in europe why am I watching this?

"Oh look a tree!"🌲 "My eyes aaaaah"💀

I love the short videos. I can watch it during my break at work

How is it endargered if no one can even go near it

Why algae are better than trees.

Maybe a Banyan tree

Lo último que haría es buscar refugio bajo un árbol durante una tormenta, eso también pone en peligro la vida.😉

It's fr the Euphorbiaceae family, very characteristic family from toxic plants in general.

0:36: me in the northeastern usa after hearing that: ok, this doesn't apply to me then

Looks like an SCP foundation entry.

I'm surprised it isn't in Australia. No wonder Florida Man has so much power.

The tree said "respect my boundaries" and meant it

No wonder people in the ancient world have all kinds of terrifying lore. The world they lived in had threes like these and they had no way to explain the circumstances, other than will of a deity or some cursed spirit.

00:01 that’s how I run in dreams.

Who on earth finds a random fruit on the beach and is like "oh let me take a bite". 😒

Fun fact, they are related to Poinsettias which are also poisonous. In fact just about every member of the Euphorbia family is toxic.

This tree: "I'm here to protect the coastlines, but only for myself. F all you guys! Except for THAT tortoise and THAT lizard; you guys are cool."

(Off topic) BUT THE CHARACTERS ARE COMING BACK SLOWLY BUT SURELY IM SO HAPPY
