Told my buddy who is going through a divorce about this. He wants to plant a couple of them in his yard before his wife takes possession.

Mmm. Ambergris. More valuable than a kilo of coke to some. I'd give a sperm whale a happy ending at 60K per.

A poultice of arrowroot (Maranta arundinacea) was used by the Arawak and Taíno as an antidote against such poisons.

The Caribs were known to poison the water supply of their enemies with the leaves.

Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León died shortly after an injury incurred in battle with the Calusa in Florida—being struck by an arrow that had been poisoned with manchineel sap.


Interesting stuff
