Thanks Red Badger. Seems like there's been a topic about this, but poison trees are worth at least another look, particularly for those who travel in the winter.
There must be a use for this tree’s chemicals. God don’t make no junk!....................
Had some indirect experience with this tree in a place called manchoneel bay, off Cooper Island, BVI. The things are all over the hillsides. We were having lunch at the Beach Club when someone on one of the nearby moored sailboats was having a manchoneel “attack”. The place was swarmed with Virgin Island Search and Rescue who hauled the person(s?) away at high speed. Our waitress said it happens a couple times a year. Never heard how it turned out for them.
