Thanks for the info! We have a Black Locust spling growing in our back yard. I did not know what it was till I saw your video. I transplanted it before knowing about tour video. As I picked it up to put it in the hole I dug, I got stuck lightly and briefly by one of it's thorns. I immediately put some disinfectant on my little finger and cotinued working. I had a small red / numbish / red spot for 3 days. Thankfully the thorn did not go deep at all. After researching the poison effects from this tree It could have been much worse. Another person who's report I red was stuck much deeper with a Black Locust thorn and their entire index finger swole up so they could'nt bend the finger. Thankfully an MD told them it's not fatal and can be treated with Antihistamine and pain killers. The SEEDS, in particular, Bark, twigs and leaves are fatal however if ingested in the right quantity. I would recommend in the case of getting stung by these thorns to immediately take Antihistamine and wrap the stung area with a slightly moist Activated Charcoal compress which will draw out the toxins.

The bird killing tree DOES enjoy an evolutionary advantage by it's seeds sticking to birds. I don't know how scientists can't see that the seeds being stuck to the birds causes the birds to perish due to the seeds weighing them down. Then the seeds are spread as far as that bird can get and if the bird dies the seeds have a source of nutrients needed for seeding. If the bird is eaten and the seeds survive the gastric tract of the predator then they also get nutrients for seeding when passed.

that one that makes holes in your hand was the most terrifying trypophobic thing ive seen

What isn't deadly or trying to kill people in Australia? Lol! Honestly love this video. People used to think Botany was boring... wait till I show them this video.

I have seen several of these trees in my work, and living in several African and Carribean countries. There is another tree not mentioned in this video that is also found in the Carribean. It goes by the name Christmas Bush, because the leaves look similar to Holly leaves. It causes painful burns and blisters on your skin several hours after touching the leaves or the sap. I found out the hard way when clearing some ground to build a zipline in St. Martin, I had some of the sap on my hands when I had to go pee, lets just say I had burns where it is the most sensitive, as well as my hands, arms, and face.

Maybe we shouldn't go into forests without a hazmat suit and a paramedic standing by.

I had a bunya pine in my front yard in Portugal for 23 years, it grew to about 20m tall and started giving pines (the size of melons) in the last 4-5 years. Had to have it cut down because it bent so much due to its fibrous trunk and the strong winds in my region, given that it was just about 5 meters from the house...

[videakias]

so the best things to wear if you go to australia are a gas mask(for all the gasses) a knight armor(for all the thorns, and also the poisonus plants) and a jet pack(because running away from an animal is already difficult and the armor makes it even harder).

I felt an odd overpowering urge to admit myself to the hospital just by watching this vid lol. Thank you! Tons of useful and lifesaving information!

Imagine you're under a tree and in suddenly a pine cone. Fell

I pay respect to all the unlucky people who had the misfortune to experience what we saw in the video, so the rest of us may avoid it.

When I was in Diego Garcia the crews were bunked in beach huts. Kinda cool until the coconuts fell on the tin roofs in the middle of the night. That will wake up the dead. The coconut crabs were another interesting animal to meet going to the head at night. What a place.

Honey locusts were a popular replacement for shade trees that were decimated in the Dutch Elm Disease that ransacked my city 60 years ago. Occasionally those honey locusts sported those horriffic thorns, like the Kowal's locust. And yeah, those thorns are huge and sharp!

Yes, I made tea from the hanging trumpet flowers when I was about 15, and shared it with friends a few times: I barely made it home both times, and then proceeded to have lucid realistic dreams all night long, waking up to being twisted into my sheets and pillow on the floor, and roommate was staying at our house, said I was talking in my sleep and doing stuff all night long. We had about 3-4 different type of trumpet flowers: Brugmansia the "angels trumpets", the "milk-cup chalice vine" (Solana?) of the tropics, the purple datura or devil's trumpet, and then dif varieties of the brugmansias. Angels trumpet was best. Do not try this unless under the guide of a true shaman.

I never realized how many dangerous trees are out there

We have Honey Locust trees all over the US Midwest, including my yard. Our son stepped on a thorn when he was 3 and it took several weeks to get it all out. Very painful!
