Guinness Book Of World Records says Florida is home to the most dangerous tree. The tree is named he manchineel tree and it is in the Florida Everglades. The tree is medium-sized with shiny leaves and fruit that smells and tastes sweet. Here's the problem, the sap from the tree is reportedly so poisonous that even the smallest contact with human skin can cause of blisters. Also, blindness can also be a result of sap getting into your eyes.

You know how when it rains you can stand under a tree and get some cover? Well, not with this tree. If someone stands under the tree they could get blistering skin and pain if the raindrops contain any sap. The tree has small sweet-smelling fruits are green or yellow. Finally, the trees normally grow on the beach or in brackish swamps.

Congrats Florida, you are home to the most dangerous tree.
