Re: What will happen if a fire belly toad's poison gets on a human?
Ok, fire bellied toads do excrete toxins than can get into your system, but it normally doesn't effect people too much. With that much said people's body react to things differently, like bee strings some people they don't bother and some people they can kill. But there has never been a documented case of a fire bellied toad's poison causing any serious injury, just mild discomfort to some sensitive people. Your greatest danger concerning the toxin is the health of the tank. the toads do not stop excreting this toxin and it could build up in their enclosure. The key to keeping everyone safe is to regularly clean their enclosure and a water filter with charcoal will help break down the toxin and increase the time between cleanings.
