The Tree That Will Leave You Blind

Sheltering from the rain under a tree in the middle of the night, a man learned that getting wet was the least of his problems, now faced with going blind. One of the world’s most dangerous organisms, unexpectedly a tree, is extremely toxic. The fruit is poison, the sap is extremely dangerous, and touching it is the last mistake you could ever make. Let’s get into it.

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...

A man woke up, he died an hour later

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

[@matthewboire6843]

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

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.

[@Fayanora]

This tree is endangered AND endangering

[@SgtRamen69]

I love how some people see a random fruit and go "mmm

[@RestlessDreamer]

The tree said "respect my boundaries" and meant it

[@ComedyPlastic]

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

[@Lightning-247]

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

[@myplaylist7007]

1.) Don't touch it

[@atomicskull6405]

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

I applaud the medicinal use of pina coladas.

I ate the apple of death in Nayarit México and by a miracle I survived.

[@Aydin-Adam]

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

[@brianery]

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

[@xXJM01Xx]

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.

[@4_W3IRD_P3RS0N]

The lorax really said: "DON'T TOUCH MY FAVOURITE TREE!"

[@heyadoraa]

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

You're not supposed to shelter under a tree anyways during a storm because of a thing called lightning. Plus hiding under a tree isn't really going to keep you dry. It can provide some protection from the wind, but that opens the door for another threat. By that, I mean getting crushed by the falling tree.
