Are toads poison?
When cane toads are threatened, their glands secrete a milky-white fluid known as bufotoxin. Components of bufotoxin are toxic to many animals. There have even been human deaths due to the consumption of cane toads. Yes. Toads naturally secrete a poison from their skin. If they think they are going to be eaten, they will also create a sticky, white, glue-like poison from glands behind their eyes. Toad poison is not fatal to humans, but can give you a bad stomachache. However, it IS fatal to dogs, cats and various other animals. As another defense, most toads will pee on you when picked up. Toad pee has the same effects as toad poison, but can give you a worse stomachache. And, contrary to popular belief, toads DO NOT give people warts. Toads ARE safe to handle as long as you thoroughly wash you hands afterwards. (Sorry for the long answer.)

How do get poison out of cane toad meat?
From what I understand, and amphibian's poison is in it's skin, and not in it's meat. I have skinned and eaten a cane toad, and I didn't get sick or anything. I did this because I am interested in wilderness survival, and I wanted to know if cane toads were edible. Having eaten one with no ill effect, I assume that they are in fact edible, as long as you skin them. I also harvested a lot of cane toad venom by squeezing the main poison glands of many toads, and I smoked quite a lot of it. It did not have any mind-altering affect on me whatsoever, however, I have since had unexplained health problems.

Is the cane toad harmful?
There are a lot of myths surrounding cane toads. * They will not give you warts. This is garbage. * They will not poison water they get in. They may make it dirty. * They will not poison you if you pick them up. However, cane toads are toxic. They secrete a white milky poison called bufotenin from the two enlarged paratoid glands behind their eyes. If you irritate a toad by poking at it or holding it for a long time, the poison will be excreted onto its skin. If you get the poison on your hands and get some of it into your mouth, it will make your mouth tingle and you will feel unwell. Large amounts of it cause vomiting, fainting, coma and death. There is enough poison in a toad to kill a dog or cat and probably a human, but they can't excrete enough of it to kill you. ALWAYS wash your hands with soap after handling toads. If you do that they cannot hurt you.
