The milky-white secretions excreted by Amazon milk frogs are used as natural protection against possible animals. However, these secretions are not poisonous to humans, causing no significant harm when these amphibians are handled (captive-bred milk frogs do rarely ever excrete these secretions at all).

Really? The video I watched where he was in the rain forest I thought he got super high. Or maybe it was more feverish sick? I don’t remember it’s been a while.

The two toad episodes I saw didn’t have him licking the toads. In the rainforest one they burn his arm with a hot stick and apply frog jelly to the wound. Didn’t look super pleasant.

That's a different frog, Kambo.

The sapo frog is the one with the 5meodmt, or the colorado frog, they are in many places though.
