It's not just the fruit, contact with the leaves is similar to contact with poison ivy or poison oak. Sometimes people take shelter under the tree when it rains and end up in bad shape. I led a program for teens in the Caribbean one summer. One of my teens took a shit in the woods on an island, and unknowingly wiped his ass with a leaf from this tree. It was a long 5 weeks for him.
