If you happen to see a toad, keep your tongue in your mouth.
While most people probably don’t want to lick a toad, park officials decided to make the announcement, perhaps as a precaution.
They say Sonoran Desert toads, also known as Colorado River toads, have glands that secrete a strong toxin that could lead to serious health threats, including death. Using the poison from the toads as a hallucinogenic drug is illegal in the U.S, according to a recent report from the New York Times.
