Is it true if you touch a toad you is get warts?

Answer 1

Toads don't cause warts. Warts are caused by a virus that isn't found on toads.

Toads generally don't have warts. The lumps on their skin isn't disease, its how they're supposed to look.

Answer 2

No, not warts. Warts are only cause by a virus that the toads do not possess. You can get an infection or bacteria however. You can help preventing that by washing off where ever the pee is. Also make sure that you wash your hands after you handle a toad or frog, because they can carry minor infections, and may cause rash or skin irritation.
Nope! Warts are caused by a virus that can only be passed from human to human. Toad 'pee' is actually a defense they use to startle a predator into dropping them so they have a chance of not getting eaten. It is harmless to humans.

No, you don't. I have had TONS of toads urinate on me before, and I don't have one single wart! So that proofs, that if a toad pees on you, you do NOT get warts. Toads don't urinate on you just to give you warts, they do it to defend themselves (weird defence!).
yes toads can give you warts if they pee on you. it is a defense

Answer 3

No.

However there are possible allergy effects which may cause temporary skin rashes.

Frogs and toads have a slimy skin that is part of their breathing and survival functions. Some people may have an allergic reaction to this and break out in hives or rashes. Some of them even secrete poisonous slime which can cause severe itching and other effects.

Anyway, none of them actually cause warts and any allergic reaction should eventually wear off. Simply wash any skin that came in contact with the frog, the allergic reaction may be take time to show up, for some people it needs to be absorbed over time before there is a skin reaction.

Frogs can NOT give you warts. This is an old myth. Warts are benign squamous neoplasms, which can be caused by a virus. This virus can be passed from person to person, but frogs do not carry it.

No warts are caused by a virus.

No, that is a myth.

No you cannot get warts from toads or frogs its just a myth, warts are caused by a virus.

The scientific answer is NO, Warts is a disease and cannot be spread by frogs by direct contact.

But to answer your question, no frogs don't give you warts. That's an old wives' tale.

It is an old wives tale that one can catch warts from touching toads, and many people mistake that for meaning they can catch warts from frogs. However, both are myths, and warts are not caused by toads, frogs, or other amphibians.
