Toads don't cause warts. Warts are caused by a virus that isn't found on toads.
Toads generally don't have warts. The lumps on their skin isn't disease, its how they're supposed to look.

∙ 6y agoNo, not warts. Warts are only cause by a virus that the toads do not possess. You can get an infection or bacteria however. You can help preventing that by washing off where ever the pee is. Also make sure that you wash your hands after you handle a toad or frog, because they can carry minor infections, and may cause rash or skin irritation.
Nope! Warts are caused by a virus that can only be passed from human to human. Toad 'pee' is actually a defense they use to startle a predator into dropping them so they have a chance of not getting eaten. It is harmless to humans.
yes toads can give you warts if they pee on you. it is a defense

However there are possible allergy effects which may cause temporary skin rashes.
Frogs and toads have a slimy skin that is part of their breathing and survival functions. Some people may have an allergic reaction to this and break out in hives or rashes. Some of them even secrete poisonous slime which can cause severe itching and other effects.
Anyway, none of them actually cause warts and any allergic reaction should eventually wear off. Simply wash any skin that came in contact with the frog, the allergic reaction may be take time to show up, for some people it needs to be absorbed over time before there is a skin reaction.
Frogs can NOT give you warts. This is an old myth. Warts are benign squamous neoplasms, which can be caused by a virus. This virus can be passed from person to person, but frogs do not carry it.
No warts are caused by a virus.
No, that is a myth.
No you cannot get warts from toads or frogs its just a myth, warts are caused by a virus.
The scientific answer is NO, Warts is a disease and cannot be spread by frogs by direct contact.
But to answer your question, no frogs don't give you warts. That's an old wives' tale.
It is an old wives tale that one can catch warts from touching toads, and many people mistake that for meaning they can catch warts from frogs. However, both are myths, and warts are not caused by toads, frogs, or other amphibians.

Is it true if a frog pees on you you'll get warts?
You can not actually get warts from touching or kissing a toad or a frog. Some frogs and toads have glands that secrete poison as a form of self-protection. This poison can cause skin-irritation, but warts have nothing to do with the frog itself.
How long does it take before frogs give you warts?
That is a myth. Frogs and Toads DO NOT give you warts if you touch them. Warts are caused by a virus that is transmitted from one person to another NOT by frogs.

Where did the saying Toads cause warts come from?
This is an old idea from European and American folk medicine. It would be impossible to determine exactly when the saying started, but it's been around for a long time. It stems from the principle of "like causes like" - toads have warts, so if you touch them you will get warts. This makes sense in some situations. For example, if you touch someone who is sick you are likely to get sick as well. A toad's "warts', however, are not really warts - they are just bumps on the skin, and are not contagious.

Toads do not have warts so they can't give it to another Toad so the answer would be No.

No, I don't believe that's ever happened: warts are just a natural part of toad's anatomy.

The growths on the toad's skin are not infections.No, that is not true, people like your parents will say that because they don't want you to touch them because they may look icky, but I'd be careful of which toads I touch because some are poisonous. But I know that the Fowler's toad is safe, and toads that are poisonous have puffed cheeks.Not really, just some old folklore from those regions.No. Toads can NOT give you warts. It's a myth.No, that's just an old wives' tale.No. Warts are caused by viruses, and that particular virus isn't carried by toads. Some toads are slightly toxic though, so they might be able to cause some temporary skin irritation. Most people might tell you that a toad does cause warts, but that is just a myth. Toads are wart free.Even though many people believe this, the answer is No. Toads do not cause warts.No!Rich people don't give money neither...Nice don't give beauty....etc
