Yes, the Eastern Red-Spotted Newt (Notophthalmus viridescens viridescens) secretes a poison from its skin similar to the tetrodotoxin found in pufferfish (the Japanese delicacy "fugu"). But is it primarily poisonous to other animals that might try to eat it. From most reports, it is not poisonous enough to hurt humans (unless of course, you eat a plate full of them). i have eaten 1 the doctors told me I was gona die!It was a horrible experience.I still have problems.
