Newts and Salamanders make produce toxins that surface from their skins, but these toxins won't harm people. They main use is to produce a nasty taste in any would-be predator's mouth that will trigger them to release the Salamander/Newt. Still, one should always wash hands well after handling Salamanders/Newts and avoid touching mouth, nose, or eyes until hands are clean.
