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.

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

😂😂😂
Dont eat random fruits.
Seripusly
Some plants dont want to be eaten, and they can kind of get what they want
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...
Surely fight or flight
It’s an old people thing. So many older people will eat and taste random things they find on the ground, even pesticides.
And experienced symptoms very similar to anaphylactic shock yet chose to treat it with piña coladas instead of seeking immediate medical treatment. 🫤
Education doesn't always equal intelligence
@@dingdud6602 But parents literally teach their kids not to eat random stuff they don't know. So they're just getting dumber with age?
This tree is endangered AND endangering
In my opinion it's a threat to humans and therefore has to be eradicated.
@@highlander723no, we live on this planet, we dont own it
@@forceawakens4449 spare me
@@highlander723if you eradicate all that could be a threat to humans, the second animal that kills humans the most are humans (mosquitos are the first)
@@highlander723 That's a pretty pathetic and cowardly way of looking at things.
The tree said "respect my boundaries" and meant it
Yep.
Nothing says personal space quite like all-natural mustard gas
@@pumkin610 "Natural Chemical Weapon™"
The trees aren’t harmed when the Lorax is armed.
The one tree the Lorax agrees it must be cut down
@@apirlfools who would make clothes out of a tree?🦞🦀🦐
@@apirlfools sneed, you mean seed?
@@apirlfools Actually though.
@@apirlfoolsi think you are joking your name is apirlfools (don’t worry im joking too)
I love how some people see a random fruit and go "mmm _FROOT_ " and proceed to eat it
Yeah really.
Me see froot, me eat
And be a Doctor at that, you’d think a Doctor would have more common sense.
Then proceed to poop out their lives
Froot good
I applaud the medicinal use of pina coladas.
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.
It still exists
it worked thou, that tree is cursed, don't go near it.
those people are dangerous, have prejudice against them.
yadda yadda
My friend was talking about this one time and it made so much sense
And of course ancient people would have seen people who touched the bark or burned it, etc. and be like "Hey we could use that against our foes!"
Back then, people still had great respect for nature.
“Oh look a tree” *starts climbing “Aaahhhhh”
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (keep making the ahhhhhs more and more long)
Taller tree? I'm a monkey but arborism and measurements confuse me.
*Fallls off the tree bc blind*
@@Geographyman64567 AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
OMG I can't see anything 💀💀
1.) Don't touch it
2.) Don't let the sap get on you
3.) Don't eat the apples from it
I'm surprised it isn't in Australia. No wonder Florida Man has so much power.
Florida is just America’s mini Australia
I thought it would be Southeast Asian or Indian
Oh, don't worry, Australia has its own deadly tree. It's called the gympie-gympie, and it's just as bad.
@@shrimpbisque
Isn't that just mostly painful because it leaves its sharp spines inside your skin for months and therefore will constantly set off your pain receptors while beyond that it isn't actually deadly (but will make you wish it was?)
Don't worry, we have a real bad one. Look up Gimpie Gimpie tree. Don't ever touch its leaves.
technically every tree can leave you blind if you jam one right into your eye
yeah but this one *will*
@brianery Leaf you blind.
Leaf you seeing double too.
2. Two.
but i like eating trees with my eyes
You mean: any tree can make you blind, if you're brave enough.....
Only the ones fitting, not all trees. Lets be professional
“Ummm a random froot. Better eat it” so this is how American cheap horror coming from
I live in Florida. When they take people on airboat tours they warn about that tree and its fruit.
The lorax really said: "DON'T TOUCH MY FAVOURITE TREE!"
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.
Who on earth finds a random fruit on the beach and is like "oh let me take a bite". 😒
people with not a shred of awareness of self preservation. so highly educated liberal women place fairly high on that ranking.
White girls
Actually a lot of the fruits in the West Indies are harmless, we often eat fruits off random trees.

Liberalism **TRIUMPHANT!!!!!**
I usually listen to this type of video like they're podcasts, but's really nice to see Brew animated in this one.
(Off topic) BUT THE CHARACTERS ARE COMING BACK SLOWLY BUT SURELY IM SO HAPPY
Kinda creepy that you stole his profile picture.
@@nataliapolova2850 not really, its just him from one of his videos in a cat onesie, My pfp is different than his. Besides, i did credit in my about section
Yeah I’m also happy
Why did he even stop using the characters?
@@dizzious no one really know actually, or none that i think of
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.
It is technically possible to burn the tree's wood - but it's not really worth the effort. It takes draining the wood of its sap for months.
“Luckily this tree will probably be on the other side of the earth”
…
“Well, I’m frightened.”
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
Fun fact, they are related to Poinsettias which are also poisonous. In fact just about every member of the Euphorbia family is toxic.
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.
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)
YIPPEE
The Lorax hath blinded thee!!
I swore not to watch ur videos until Brew came back and I am now happy because this means I get to watch your videos
This tree evolved to survive against humans
Manchineel tree?
Edit: CALLED IT! My science nerdery pays off!
Haven't been here for a while and am totally happy to see Brew and his crew again ^^
If I'd eaten one and it caused that much pain I'd go to the hospital to get it tree-ted.
"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)
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.
Ngl I'm a Floridian and I've never heard of this tree
Ikr & me neither
Florida has some pretty interesting native flora, like we even have things like native cinnamon and mahogany on top of things like sea grape, hog plum, and pond apple.
If most of Florida wasn't artificially drained marshland and/or bland suburban developments, we could have some pretty interesting and useful garden forests or orchards kinda like how the ancient Mayans had with lots of useful plants grown around their villages like Breadnut and spinach tree.
Yeah same
I never thought a tree could give you cancer
Love these videos!!!! They tickle my brain lol
This reminds me of that one episode of original star trek with planet where the trees and even grass caused acid burns just touching it.
First, The beach that'll make you old and, now, the tree that'll make you blind
Interesting video. I wonder if the voynich manuscript contains details on this tree.
Wow…a literal Poison Tree…
Longer videos please
Magine not just using the sap on your arrows but also using fresh wood of it as the Arrow itself
I've lived in SWFL my whole life and I've never heard of this danger tree.
I'm pretty sure it's in the Everglades and Keys, although manchineel is endangered in its Florida range. Elsewhere in the Caribbean and Central America, manchineel is a "least concern" species.
The Calusa of SWFL likely had access to manchineel back in the day, as it is highly suspected (although not completely verified) that Juan Ponce de León died from an arrow poisoned with manchineel sap. I'm pretty sure I read that this confrontation took place around Charlotte Harbor, though I'm relatively sure manchineel doesn't grow that far north anymore.
Leaf me blind.
It makes poison ivy a saint (but itchy) by a comparison.

“Grows in the various regions betweens Northen South America,and in Southern North America” Phew “But are most concentrated in the Florida Everglades” WHY,WHY MUST IT BE IN MY FAVORITE PLACE TO GO
Ayo why couldn’t you hold your laugh when you mentioned Leon’s name?? 😂😂👏
The introvert of all trees lol
How was I born and raised in SWFL and never taught about this tree?!? We used to fish by the mangroves.
I love the short videos. I can watch it during my break at work
I got the same reaction from eating an unripe persimmon. I had a minor panic attack thinking I had just poisoned myself.
what a nice tree
i love trees
It kind of reminds me of the oleander tree, everything about it is dangerous.
That tree really doesn't like anyone.
This was a story in my English star test lol.
Thanks Brew!
I'll never understand why people on vacation in foreign lands decide to just up and eat foreign things they aren't familiar with without having a local there confirming if it's safe or not... Or to swim, alone, on some strange beach, again, with no local being there to tell them if there are Jellyfish or conesnails or something.
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."
It is so weird how nature makes something that looks so beautiful, so deadly
does that mean swimming around the edge water of where this tree grow can potentially get us in danger? the sap might be around the water
Can't you put the name of the tree in the description?
I really wonder what caused this tree to develop this type of defense system.
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
Funny thing the place where I am is currently having a downpour 😂
Wikipedia said its not endangered
4:18 hmm , be careful with it .... (that sounded like enderman fren / enderwoman from : Ok Corz)
4:18 idk that was a water piglet
I stop my adventurous eating things outside at crabapples beyond that it will never enter my mouth 😂
I'm glad I'm in Australia where we only have venemous spiders, snakes and wild pigs!
So how do you like the Cassowaries? Such nice birds!
Dude, Just about anything is better than that tree.
@@flickwtchr the range of the cassowary is tiny in relation to Aus
Almost no-one sees them outside of wildlife parks.
Interesting that Juan Ponce de Leon died thanks to an arrow whose tip was poisoned with Manchino sap 🤔
00:01 that’s how I run in dreams.
This tree is my spirit tree… give a reason to practice social distancing, how inspirational 🌚
Sad missing his buddies.
Yeah I agree, Pina Coladas are pretty good for soothing Super Poisonous Mutant Fruit.
This is gonna cause a ton of people to leave America
Southern North America and northern South America threw me for a sec ngl
Just call it Central America 😅 0:33
I always found this tree fascinating especially given that is common place, though well-labelled, here in Trinidad and Tobago.
Also, Tobago is pronounced to-bay-go. =)
Aye I was wondering if I'd find another Trinbagonian on here! I remember the tourists that got sick after eating the manchineel few years ago. Was gonna say that we have signs up on the trees stating that they're poisonous, do not eat
They should have called it the Lorax's revenge.
Geez, you can't even destroy it using fire as it will still harm you >_
Normie!!!
the eye on the banner is hurting my stomach
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.
hey. thats one way to fortify an frontline
It's only endangered in Florida.
It isn't endangered anywhere else.
Thank you Brew for going back to the old way albeit somewhat.
Why I never go to North America or South America:
Wait a minute,there’s black spiny tailed iguanas down here also!Hmmm
Also you can't burn the trees either, they'll release noxious fumes into the air that is also deadly
Do they still use the other characters for these videos?
It's like that tree from the original star trek on the paradise planet. We should have listened...
Sorry for being Late on your Video, Brew.
Jeeze ive seen these before. Glad i didnt go near them
How is it endargered if no one can even go near it
Ohh, you mean beach apples.
Woah, talk about playing hard to get
Wow a mustard gas tree
My new fear is this tree
