Some frogs are poison, but not in America.

All frog species release some form of toxic chemicals on their skin. The toxins that a frog releases can range from harmless to deadly for both animals and humans.
Frogs are able to create poison secretions on their skin, through their diet. That means they are able to transform the components of their diet into toxic chemicals.
For poison dart frogs they can become so toxic due to their insect diet of ants, mites, maggots, spiders, and beetles. The frogs derive their toxins from these insects. That means that when they stop eating a diet of these insects, they become non-toxic.
As frogs in the USA don’t have a diet of these insects, they can’t make the same poisonous secretions as the tropical frog species.
All frogs are poisonous, but learning which frogs are harmless and which ones are dangerous can be lifesaving. The most poisonous frogs are the ones that will kill or seriously hurt you if you touch their skin.
