Are frog bites poisonous ?????

Many frogs, toads, and salamanders secrete poison through their skin. This poison can be extremely poisonous to humans our pets. The most poisonous frog known is the Poison-Dart Frog, so named because South American Indians used the poison in the tips of arrows used to kill animals. However, now that I’ve got you scared to death of the innocent little toad sitting outside in your garden, let me say that very rarely is “Poisonous Frog” listed on a death certificate. You can actually touch a poisonous frog or toad with no ill effects. It’s when the poison gets into your system, either by ingesting it, or by another entry point into the body (such as a cut on your hand that come into contact with the poison, or if you had some poison on your hands and then rubbed your eyes). Now, most toads in North America have some amount of poison in its skin, which is why your dog may become ill after eating a toad. If your dog ate an especially large toad, it may be best to see a veterinarian, since serious problems can arise. SYMPTOMS of amphibian poisoning vary by species, and actually most of the frogs and toads with which you may come into contact in the wild contain relatively weak poison that may cause only some mild skin irritation (this is assuming you won’t eat a toad you find in the woods). Some of the stronger toxins can produce a rapid heartbeat, hallucinations, and even affect the heart. The poison of the Poison-Dart Frog (remember, the most toxic of them all) can cause seizures, paralysis, and even death. If you experience any systemic effects after coming into contact with a toad or frog, call your doctor.

The poison Dart frog is the only frog I know that is poisonous.
Hope this helps!

Are bullfrogs poisonous?

All amphibians are at least mildly poisonous. However, the poison is in the skin and it will not be released unless the animal is stressed, for example, if it was bitten by a predator. Handling tadpoles with your hand is not recommended as they are very slippery, like fish. Use a fish net if you need to transfer it from one container to another. If you have to touch the tadpoles, just wash your hands afterwards with soap and water and never put your hands in your mouth or touch your eyes after handling amphibians. The poison in most amphibians are not dangerous to anyone's health, but there are amphibians, such as newts and poison dart frogs, that can kill if their skin poisons are ingested or otherwise enters one's blood circulation.

Bullfrogs are not dangerously poisonous, and they are consumed world wide in large numbers by people. They are safe to consume as long as the skin is removed before the frog is cooked. Even toads can be eaten if the skin is removed, as the muscles inside do not contain any poison.
