Man, lured by the tree’s hypnotic perfume scent, ponders munching on its deadly fruit. Will he or won’t he?
“An Indian tree that bears poisonous fruit is used by more people to commit suicide than any other plant in the world! Apparently, it’s also used to rub out young wives who aren’t well-liked by their in-laws. The death rate is one person a week!

The tree, its botanical name “Cerbera odollam,” emanates a jasmine-like perfume to attract hungry consumers. It bears a lush supply of a delicious-tasting but deadly toxin-laced mango-like fruit that KILLS within 3 to 6 hours after ingestion.” ~ weirdlinks.com

What a way to go!
