One of my favorite killer plants is manchineel or manzanilla. Because of its sap, every part of the tree is toxic (and deadly) to humans, but iguanas have no problems eating the fruit and hanging around on it.

I’d never heard of the manchineel before—just looked it up, and it’s fascinating how even standing under it in the rain can be dangerous. Thank you for sharing!

Manchineel is my boo! I love all toxic and carnivorous plants, but that one has a special place in my heart lol! It’s one of my favorite native plants from the islands my people are from.
