Parasites are scary O_O Like us and everything else in the world, there is a possibility that they could adapt, change, grow... New species could still be discovered.

    (I'm not disagreeing with Lija, but fear the parasites, please)
    no need to fear i like to educate kids versus just to plain scare and the fact is you can't catch tapeworm from a frog but you can catch the whole bunch of worse things (bacteria, fungus). frog parasites can be just a walk in a park comparing on Mycobacterium marinum for example. so education is always a good thing, kids will know not to be scared but to have a knowledge and reasoning for washing their hands before and after handling amphibian of any kind, including in a wild.

    Matt, i was wondering how it will turn out glad it was nothing!
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
