yep if you have a pet poison dart frog you have nothing to worry about
i used to work at a pet store, and as long as they dont have a diet consisting of whatever the hell it is they eat out there, (we suggest crickets and shit), then you are ok

I heard you could catch a cool buzz by licking a toad.
-----------------
apparently you can with some of the less toxic species.
wouldn't want to try it with this one though........

the good part of these frogs...
There has been a new discovery involving the Poison arrow frog, Epipedrobates tricolor from Equidor. Researchers from Abbott Labs in Chicago have developed a new pain killer called ABT-594. John Daly from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases found that an extract from the frog's skin could block pain 200 times more effectively than morphine. Mr. Daly calls the compound "epibatidine" in honor of the frog. Further studies have been done and this drug appears to have none of the serious side effects which are associated with morphine. Morphine can also suppress breathing and stop the digestive movement in the intestines and the bowel. Current tests show that ABT-594 does not hinder respiration, diminish digestive movement or show signs of addiction.
its the new LSD boys and grrls.

This was too good and thoughtful for SPT. I was about to dock you a point for offering something ala-SPT and then faking me out with this thing. But the post is good. Just save the SPT label for special occasions instead of trying to lure me in here.

Dude, reading comprehension check, you can be scared, just don't scare the shit outta the frogs and then touch the goo they excrete.
And don't lick them, either.
Just say no.

Ode to Secretion
You're thick and heavy like a Detroit stripper's ass
But dribbly, a wetrun dunkadunk assketball running down
This side of life, from life and for life created,
For proper piston power dictated, or evidence
That you have mated, either way,
Whatever.
Charisma jism, fluid and funky salt lick emulsion,
Rocket rumpquake monkey sex propulsion,
Phat electrolytes and almost babies,
Sex slime dished from an unstable dam,
Bloosh bloosh
The seamen in the sea,
Awooga awooga
Full steam to Honalee,
Thinned silly putty slip-pouring from the drain
With one door open, one path shut, above a lion's mane
She-synthetic oil lubing up my shafting crank
Upon a willing victim tongue shot blank
To taste of death and possibility.
Pour, birth butterscotch and run your liquor paste
Rampant all over this bitch, fuck it, my mom just
Cleaned these sheets, run bootknock viscosoty clear
Down from my upswing to my hamdown, hang a right on
Splitteste Drive, and let's see about
Putting the 'us' back into mucus
HMMM??

I figured I'd need the caffeine to help get you in the spreader bar and then hoist you up in the air over open flame in an attempt to frighten and confuse you. Though maybe my uncle was wrong and not all women are like arrow frogs. Perhaps there's another way to induce secretion.
What an awful word. "Secretion."

One of my lecturers has frogs on the brain. So much so that he pretty much disregards any other animal. He didnt know what a meerkat was until we told him. He didnt even know it was a mammal. What a twat.

I saw a special somewhere about those little frogs.
Apparently, those little fuckers have figured out how poisonous they are, so they are known to fuck with much larger animals, knowing that those much larger animals will back down.
Not that they're trying to eat these bigger animals, they're just pissing around for something to do.
-----------------------
Yeah, it was some discovery programme or something where I found out about 'em. The frogs actually parade themselves about in front of snakes, and lizards and shit, as if to say "come on then, you slant-eyed twat, come and have a go."
I laughed my ass off when I saw it.

haha, that's pretty funny. although, do frogs have the brains to be 'arrogant' or did they just become careless?

"batracho" literally means "frog" in Greek, so "batrachotoxin" really isn't some fancy shmancy scientific term - it just means "frog poison" - scientists are so fucking lazy.

Wonder how long it will take researchers to find the damn insects that the frogs are ingesting...

Could be a while. 60% of all species on the planet live in the rainforest, and they are finding new species all the time.
Part of me is hoping that it's really just some man-made chemical that's got in the food chain, and they all mutate into real life Ninja Turtles.
