Thanks for the info! We have a Black Locust spling growing in our back yard. I did not know what it was till I saw your video. I transplanted it before knowing about tour video. As I picked it up to put it in the hole I dug, I got stuck lightly and briefly by one of it's thorns. I immediately put some disinfectant on my little finger and cotinued working. I had a small red / numbish / red spot for 3 days. Thankfully the thorn did not go deep at all. After researching the poison effects from this tree It could have been much worse. Another person who's report I red was stuck much deeper with a Black Locust thorn and their entire index finger swole up so they could'nt bend the finger. Thankfully an MD told them it's not fatal and can be treated with Antihistamine and pain killers. The SEEDS, in particular, Bark, twigs and leaves are fatal however if ingested in the right quantity. I would recommend in the case of getting stung by these thorns to immediately take Antihistamine and wrap the stung area with a slightly moist Activated Charcoal compress which will draw out the toxins.

In Germany we have a tree that is locally called Vogelbeerenbaum / Eberesche (Sorbus aucuparia). It has red berries on it that almost fool you into believing they are red currants, but they are slightly bigger and a bit more orange. I was told they are very toxic, and they are very bad for your digestion system.

[@stevenkostamo1279]

I have seen several of these trees in my work, and living in several African and Carribean countries. There is another tree not mentioned in this video that is also found in the Carribean. It goes by the name Christmas Bush, because the leaves look similar to Holly leaves. It causes painful burns and blisters on your skin several hours after touching the leaves or the sap. I found out the hard way when clearing some ground to build a zipline in St. Martin, I had some of the sap on my hands when I had to go pee, lets just say I had burns where it is the most sensitive, as well as my hands, arms, and face.

I think my grandfather may have a tree similar to a Sandbox tree in his backyard garden. There’s always been this tree in his backyard garden that looks very similar to a Sandbox tree. It’s probably only about 20 or so feet tall, but it has small spikes all over the trunk. I’ve never touched it, but I have always wondered what kind of tree it was. I’ll make a point to ask him about it next time I’m over there.

I have a Bunya Pine in my back yard. My Dad found it as a seedling in a pot in a garbage fill. He brought it home to my Mom who loved plants. She had never seen a plant like that before nor did she know its name. What she did know is that she didn't like the spiky leaves. She threw the pot with seedling out the back door and there it took root. That was about 50 years ago and the tree is still growing, or so I was told a few years ago by a Horticulturalist. He said that you know when the tree is fully mature when the top flattens out. If that's true, my tree isn't fully mature, yet. The largest pine cone I've seen from this tree was about 6 inches in diameter and weighed about 1 to 1-1/2 pounds. It's rare to see a large one survive the fall. Smaller ones stay intact. When they hit the ground you can hear a very audible THUD. The leaves grow on small branches. When the leaves are green they are sharp but pliable. When the turn brown, they are stiff and deadly to walk on without proper shoes. The main thing people dislike about the tree is the mess they make with the leafy branches year 'round, but worse during the fall and winter. Because the brown leaves are so sharp, clean up requires heavy leather gloves. I had a crew come to take down some dying trees. The Foreman said that they had to take down a Bunya Pine and will never take on that task again for any amount of money. I never knew the proper name for the tree until I saw this video. I've always known it as a Monkey Puzzle Tree, named so because it is said that it's the only tree a monkey can't climb.

I've seen and probably stumbled into the gympie gympie. Either I repressed that memory or more likely I just don't feel that kinda pain because wasps, including paper wasps and fire ants don't seem to bother me... anyway, one that has bothered me from Australia is wait-a-while, a grasslike climbing palm vine with needle-like spikes all over it, and a long, thin tip (the width of a wire coat hanger) that grows several metres long and often runs along the ground (also covered in hooks), this just looks like a blade of grass but I want to emphasize... those spikes will either stick to and maybe rip your clothes as you run by, or shred your skin if you aren't wearing any... AND perhaps trip you over because it's pretty strong! I've nearly fallen over rock banks several metres where I would most certainly have died. The tip is like a whip, once you pull it off you need to be careful because it springs straight back... So add to your list: machete.

[@adawg3032]

I had a client i did landscaping work for in florida who had brugmansia in his back yard, and i ate 2 of the flowers, they arent necessarily fatal (but possibly could be, especially depending on use of SSRI antidepressants) as much as they cause intense severe hallucinations of the paranoid delusional dissociative type. The plant is closely related to datura, and paralysis is i believe dependent on the individuals reaction to the compounds contained in the flowers. I ended up completely losing my mind, but never did i become paralyzed even after eating the flowers. The hallucination lasted for the better half of an entire 24 hour period, i didnt sleep for almost 2 days from it. At first it was intensely euphoric, but the effects kept getting stronger and stronger until i couldnt control my vision anymore, depth perception disappeared entirely and the world looked like a 2d image, and then i began to spout nonsense and scream really loudly. Luckily i was on a private beach when i ate it, i probably would have ended up in a psych ward had i been seen by any member of the general public... They definitely arent worth trying, i have always been curious about psychoactive compounds, and i never will trip brugmansias ever again. its basically the most uncomfortable hallucinations ever. Stick with mushrooms DMT LSD and peyote, those arent going to be 24 hours of mental horror and delirium.... Afterwards for about 2 weeks i had ptsd about the event which eventually faded, it is indescribable of how terrifying the effect of scopolamine can truly be.

[@caliberspecificreload]

The bird killing tree DOES enjoy an evolutionary advantage by it's seeds sticking to birds. I don't know how scientists can't see that the seeds being stuck to the birds causes the birds to perish due to the seeds weighing them down. Then the seeds are spread as far as that bird can get and if the bird dies the seeds have a source of nutrients needed for seeding. If the bird is eaten and the seeds survive the gastric tract of the predator then they also get nutrients for seeding when passed.

[@lancerevell5979]

Yep, as the bird's body decomposes, the soil around the seeds is enriched.

[@jahlasam]

Yeah, I would imagine its victims trying to escape and run from it and similar trees (if they get a chance to) during their ordeal, ensuring a new patch of land to grow on with feathery fertilizer.

[@RatKindler]

I'm sure the scientists have thought of this and that's why they looked into it. They probably found that it didn't help the seeds to spread and germinate after all. Have to take a look at their study.

[@davidbwa]

I believe they were talking about the overkill of the stickiness. If the bird is so weighed down it can't fly and dies then it never made it very far from the source of the seeds - the parent tree. The usual 'goal' of seeds that are sticky or stick via burrs is to allow the carrier to take the seed(s) a good distance. Same for seeds that are eaten and pooped out later.

[@notarobot1231]

The bird is so weighed down it can’t carry the seeds anywhere so the seeds are competing for root space with the mother plant

[@justinnolan6458]

I've seen white trumpets that smell good but are sometimes toxic. this flower grows on Arizona Cacti and can make a fire smell good, just like oleanders, I heard that these can grow on thorny vines as well. some big ones that bees try to go in are proven to have pollen that could be fatal. so if you go near those flowers. Be careful.

[@meegansandberg1308]

Back in the '80's I went for a walk to get some exercise. Unfortunately I walked under a honey locust tree and stepped on a thorn that had fallen to the ground. It pierced the sole of my shoe and deeply punctured the arch of my foot. IT HURT REALLY BAD! I stood on my uninjured foot and pulled the thorn out of the other one immediately. I was shocked at how long that thorn was! I was able to limp home and luckily it healed without medical attention. I still watch for those trees when I'm out walking.

Best way to handle the branches is to only touch them using pliers.

[@anibalsonera2376]

The Angel Trumpet tree has been a major problem in my hometown in Puerto Rico, where young people make tea out of the flowers to get the "hallucinogenic" effect. The DEA and the Police developed a task force to eradicate the ornamental plant from houses and farms to control the situation. I have seen the Angel Trumpet in many yards in the South area of Georgia and Florida. I know about a dozen cases where one ended up like Zombie. Others died of the overdose. This guy walked day and night nonstop. He lost the skill to talk, and gesture, and never interacted with anybody. His family had to take care of him until he got lost and died of possible starvation. Another case was this coworker who got a strange condition where he was talking day and night non-stop. Sometimes aggressive if you tried to interact with him. He demolished his mom's concrete house with a sledgehammer and several chisels working it day and night.

We had about 3-4 different type of trumpet flowers: Brugmansia the "angels trumpets", the "milk-cup chalice vine" (Solana?) of the tropics, the purple datura or devil's trumpet, and then dif varieties of the brugmansias. Angels trumpet was best. Do not try this unless under the guide of a true shaman.

[@martinrolecek8837]

Brugmansia toxicity is highly hallucinogenic and quite commonly used as mind altering substance with risk of death being minimal unless you consume around kg of mature plant matter (I myself consumed approx 300g in one session when having fun while younger) Greatest risk to your life is consumers own action during the hallucination phase or accident during comedown sense impairment. However it's perfectly safe to consume in safe environment under observation of non partaker and causes between 8-16h long hallucinations followed by 4-12h senses impairments such as vision distance disruption, smell confusion, etc.... Another risk associated with brugmansia consumption is extreme level of suggestiveness where consumer becomes pretty much a yes person to any requests or demands (telling someone they should fly out the window on 30th floor is done deal and consumer jumps before you can open the said window to fly around a bit) Also consumer is only aware of the hallucination itself, completely unaware of what happened in reality while they were hallucinating.

Fun fact though the shipworms or otherwise known as "tamilok" in the philippines people eat these wood eating mollusks either raw while mixing it in vinegar and salt or eating it as is, some even dip it in a vinegar/alcohol called "tuba" (this alcohol can function as a vinegar and is extracted from a coconut tree.) just because its delicious. I tried some and it was not that bad if you just ignore the fact that it looks like a worm and sometimes you can chew some wood chunks in it... I think its a decent meal and it's surprisingly goes well with beer...

[@rebeccaliew2247]

Coconut trees are almost a staple plant & food in South East Asia, including my country Malaysia. We make foods & beauty products out of it. The more dangerous plant to touch than coconut you didn't mentioned in this video is the "King of Fruits" Durian tree. A tree that gives off spikes all round it. Farmers wear helmets to avoid the falling durians on their heads. The fruit inside is pungent like jackfruit but generally more sticky, bittersweet & heaty. Usually eaten during cooler season like monsoon. Some species - e.g.: the premium Musang King - can fetch up to USD15 per pound, depending on its grade.

[@dinosaurpro6592]

Strangely, durians smell bad but taste good!

[@rebeccaliew2247]

@@dinosaurpro6592 so true! Its smell is quite pungent that even most airlines forbid it to be carried onboard - the smell will linger a few days, even after you take it out of the car or plane in this case, despite many air-freshener sprays 🤣😬 But like you said, the taste of its flesh is worth the trouble despite its spiky & smelly appearance.👏👌👍💯🌟💕

[@markseibert6369]

Hi Rebecca. I was a Firefigher and was called to a wreck on the freeway. Getting out of the engine, I smelled what seemed to be insecticide. It turned out to be a truck carrying Durian fruit, preserved and entire raw fruits as well! Many years later I was invited to a Malaysian wedding and sampled a pudding made from this fruit. It tasted a lot better than it smelled. Most Americans have never heard of it, but occasionally you will find it offered in Malay based restaurants.

[@rebeccaliew2247]

@@markseibert6369 haha, durians smelled like insecticide 🤭🤣 undoubtedly pungent initially, but glad you like it. Usually, when it is mixed ito the final food processing (e.g. ice cream, cakes, puddings, etc.) the "insecticide" pungent smell will be reduced/balanced out by other food ingredients. But oh dear, a (overturned or combusted) truck full of spiky durians...that was one hell of a smelly, thorny clean-up! 🤢💥

As Chinese, we regard the honeylocust tree as the shampoo plant because we usually pick the beans on that tree to make the liquid that could be a substitution of shampoo to wash hair or clothes. We call the beans on the honeylocust trees as "The Soap Beans." And that kind of liquid is better than shampoo,for some people. However the spear-like horns on that tree could be dangerous because they can hurt people.

The other 2 blackberries in SoAm look VERY different than the safe one. It grows directly on the trunk where as one of the others is on red/purple stems (often bright colors represent DANGER!). The nightshade also didn’t grow directly on trunk. So not sure how anyone could mistake the poison berries for the safe berries (once someone tells you). But no one should ever eat things growing if they don’t know what it is they’re eating. Also, shldnt go just based on pics in a book as somethings are very similar and hard to tell apart from the novice. So a book ok to help BUT you should have a human actually teach you in the area and show you what’s what

The vine itself is just a root outside the ground, that crawls then climes and holds on with an adaptation like spines, but more like root that move to their next victim The corpse of trees provided nutrients as it climb and take water from the ground meant for the tree in drought Cut the vine and get a drink of fresh water while taking them out, just slowing their progress as the vines are in the ground, it will grow back if you let it, making my day that much longer tomorrow 😊
