'Twarn't frogs, 'twere toads. There are toads that if scared can kill you. A Harvard prof
told me of a journal article about scientist in New Mexico many years ago out exercising
his dogs, when the young one picked up a toad, tossed it in air, and caught it again. Winthin
a few minutes the young dog was dead, and the older dog died not long afterward. The owner
was extremely ill, but survived. That species of toad can secrete large amounts of a steroid
that is similar to digitalis, by immensely more potent. Now I'll have to go see if I can find out
the name of it on Internet. This is not some old wives' tale.
