English translation:
Mancinella is one of the most poisonous trees in the world. Distributed in the islands of the Caribbean and in the Central America. The fruits that grow on the tree resemble apples. They smell very sweet and attract attention. The tree itself gives off a viscous and white, like milk, juice. It is contained in the bark, in leaves and fruits. Eye contact causes blindness since the eyes are practically burned out by this poisonous latex. When it enters the stomach, the juice "eats up" the real holes, after which death occurs. Smoke from burning wood causes severe irritation of the respiratory tract.
