    "the venom of a North American toad"

    Huh?

    What toad might that be?

    We have venomous toads?

    I know the Aussies do and perhaps elsewhere, but here...?

    Probably the elusive camel toad

    Not a spelling nazi, but do enjoy fun facts. Bufo alvarius does not produce venom, so the article got that wrong. They, along with many other toads, produce poison (bufotoxin), primarily through their parotid glands (big circles behind the eyes on the skin). Venom has to be injected to be dangerous, such as snake venom, which as it turns out, isn't always poisonous. Poisons must be ingested, inhaled or absorbed.

    Licking toads and smoking toad skins has been a way to get stoned for many hundreds of years.
