'Please stop licking the psychedelic toads,' is the message from the National Park Service, which warned visitors this week to avoid licking the large Sonoran Desert toad.

“It can make you sick if you handle the frog or get the poison in your mouth,” the park service said. “As we say with most things you come across in a national park, whether it be a banana slug, unfamiliar mushroom, or a large toad with glowing eyes in the dead of night, please refrain from licking.
But it’s a “popular myth” that licking the toads can get you high, the group says. It can be dangerous and cause poisonings, even fatalities, the group said.
