Are toads poison?

When cane toads are threatened, their glands secrete a milky-white fluid known as bufotoxin. Components of bufotoxin are toxic to many animals. There have even been human deaths due to the consumption of cane toads. Yes. Toads naturally secrete a poison from their skin. If they think they are going to be eaten, they will also create a sticky, white, glue-like poison from glands behind their eyes. Toad poison is not fatal to humans, but can give you a bad stomachache. However, it IS fatal to dogs, cats and various other animals. As another defense, most toads will pee on you when picked up. Toad pee has the same effects as toad poison, but can give you a worse stomachache. And, contrary to popular belief, toads DO NOT give people warts. Toads ARE safe to handle as long as you thoroughly wash you hands afterwards. (Sorry for the long answer.)
