Keeping this in view, is SAP Tree dangerous?
Sap isn't harmful to the tree, bugs or even to humans if accidentally ingested (those with children may have figured this out already). However, it's sticky, can be smelly and if it gets on your car or windows, it can be a real pain.
- Nail polish remover: Pour some nail polish remover onto a cotton ball and wipe it on the sap.
- Mineral spirit: Dampen a soft cloth with mineral spirit (turpentine).
- Lighter fluid/rubbing alcohol/bacon grease/WD-40: Place any one of these on the sap and leave it there for a while.

According to the Guinness World Records, the manchineel tree is in fact the most dangerous tree in the world. The tree produces a thick, milky sap, which oozes out of everything - the bark, the leaves and even the fruit - and can cause severe, burn-like blisters if it comes into contact with the skin.
