Dendrobates azureus exudes a toxic secretion like the other members of its family. None of the frogs make the poison they "wear" on their skins but get it from what they eat. Of the variety of insects and such in their diets, it is the ants and mites that actually manufacture and carry the toxins - until the frog eats them and "borrows" their poison. Wikipedia has more information, and you've got links.

∙ 10y agoThe golden poison frog's skin is densely coated in alkaloid poison, which prevents nerves from transmitting impulses, leaving the muscles in an inactive state of contraction (can't relax). This can lead to heart failure.
The average dose generally estimated to contain about one milligram of poison, enough to kill about 10,000 mice or to kill between 10 and 20 humans, or two African bull elephants.
