Jamaica Dangers > Cockroaches and Fearsome Flora

Cockroaches

This being the tropics, cockroaches are everywhere. Many are veritable giants! However, they're not a problem, except in restaurants, where they can contaminate food.

Fearsome Flora

The manchineel tree, which grows along the Jamaican shoreline, produces small apple like green fruits. Don't eat them - they're highly poisonous. Don't sit beneath the tree either, as the raindrops running off the leaves onto your skin can cause blisters.
