1. Northeast Network According to Harbin News Network 12 At noon, Qin, who lives in the suburbs of Harbin, went to the farmland to do farm work. A toad jumped up from his feet, and his hand quickly caught the toad. Qin's family life is difficult, and it is difficult to supplement nutrition for his two-year-old son. That night, Qin personally cooked toad, and Qin's wife specially sent toad seeds to her son's mouth. Qin's wife also tasted the leftover toad meat.

According to the doctor, this toad, whose scientific name is toad, will secrete a toad toxin, which will cause serious damage to the human heart, digestive tract and central nervous system. In severe cases, it will cause coma, respiratory and circulatory failure and death, and it is not allowed to eat casually.
It is reported that eating toad by mistake caused one death and one injury. Guangzhou Food Safety Office and the US Food and Drug Administration reminded employees in the catering industry and the general public that toads are highly toxic and difficult to clean manually, so don't eat toads. Some kinds of toads are not much different from ordinary frogs. When people buy edible frogs, they should especially distinguish the difference between frogs and toads and be careful to prevent poisoning. In addition, toad is a national "three-owned" second-class protected wild animal, and it is illegal to buy, sell and eat toad.
Experts say it is difficult to tell the absolute difference between frogs and toads. Generally speaking, frogs with smooth skin and slim body are called frogs, and toads with rough skin and bloated body are called toads.
Some kinds of toads have rough skin and large and small papules on their backs, which are easy to distinguish from frogs. However, there is a kind of flower-backed toad whose female back is light green with dark brown or sauce black spots, sparse wart body and smooth skin, so special attention should be paid to identification. This female toad's abdomen is milky white and covered with flat warts. There is a big wart behind the mouth, and the glands behind the ears are big and flat.
According to experts, there is no specific treatment for toad poisoning. In case of accidental toad poisoning, you should be sent to the hospital as soon as possible.
