| In the Galapagos there is a tree called poison apple, also called manzanilla or manzanilla de la muerte which means "little apple of death." No part of the plant is safe to touch as it causes severe dermatitis that is much quicker acting than poison ivy, oak, or sumac. Even taking refuge under a large poison apple tree during a rain can have terrible results as the water dripping from the tree will be laden in the plant's toxins... though giant tortoises have no issues munching on the leaves. | w and
