Explanation:
Myth 5 – Toads are poisonous: TRUE.
Contact with a toad's skin will not give you warts and it will not poison you just through skin-to-skin contact. However, they have glands just behind their eyes that when pressed will secrete a milky-white substance that can severely harm someone if ingested
