The National Park Service has put out a PSA pleading with nature-goers to stop licking #toads in the wild to get high off their gland-secreted psychedelic substance, 5-MeO-DMT.
But toad licking for a ribbeting buzz — once spoofed on “Family Guy” — particularly from the Sonoran desert toad aka Colorado River toad, comes with many serious health risks, the NPS warned in a recent Facebook post.
“These toads have prominent parotoid glands that secrete a potent toxin. It can make you sick if you handle the frog or get the poison in your mouth,” the service advised.
