Strawberry dart frogs produce potent alkaloid toxins, primarily batrachotoxin, which can cause severe physiological effects if ingested or absorbed through the skin. These toxins can lead to symptoms such as muscle paralysis, respiratory failure, and in high doses, death. Interestingly, these frogs acquire their toxins from their diet, primarily consisting of ants and other small invertebrates. In their natural habitat, these toxins serve as a defense mechanism against predators.
