In fact they are called poison dart frogs -touching their skin allows their bodily fluids to absorb into you through your skin -then you die from it! -It IS for real and the natives use it for hunting by rubbing their blowgun dart tips against the frog immediately before using the arrow.

Also curare from the curare plant.
