Introduction: The world is so big, many animals that we seem to be just ordinary will be assigned some other role by some people.
Just like the most common toad in our lives, it is full of pimples, and its body also contains poisonous glands, if someone accidentally touches it, it will produce adverse reactions!
This has led us to be taught by our elders from a young age that if we encounter a toad, we must stay away from it as much as possible and never get close.
But in the United States, toads have become the object of many people's pursuit, and the reason why they will pursue toads is also very strange, so that the local management department issued a special notice!
First, the US National Park Service issued a notice: visitors are prohibited from touching toads in the park!
On November 2, 2022, the official account of the US National Park Service released a very strange official notice through official media at 1:16 a.m.
The notice shows that the Sonoran desert toad, the largest toad found in North America, is nearly 18 centimeters tall after our measurements.
There are also two very conspicuous large eyes that appear unusually bright when the lights are shining at night, so we recommend using it to hypnotize yourself! It is also not recommended that you look around for traces of it!
This may feel a little inexplicable at first glance, but in fact, this is also the helplessness of the management, because licking toads is now very popular in the United States!
Right! You read that right! Although there is no real data to use as a reference to determine the specific number of people, the ability to force the official media to issue a special announcement also shows that the event has become very popular in the United States.
You think it's just a single incident, but in fact, as early as October 2007, a 21-year-old man in Kansas City, USA, was arrested by the police in a very bizarre anti-drug operation.
The reason why the police arrested him was because the man was accused of using toads for drugs, and the police also harvested his own domestic Colorado River toad at the scene!
It can be seen that licking toads has been a long time in the United States, and with the severe crackdown of the local police, licking toads not only does not become less and less, but more and more!
So why would anyone go specifically to lick toads? Can toads really be associated with drug use? Now let me popularize this question.
Second, the things that are unknown about the toad
Toad is an amphibian, its body surface has many pimples, looks very scary, and because of the poison glands in the body, it also makes many friends stop.
And when we were children, we often called it, toad, toad, toad, toad, etc., but these are just a contemptuous name for the toad, in fact, its scientific name is toad.
Although the toad may seem ugly, it is actually a proper beneficial creature, not only to catch harmful insects in the field, but also to use it for medicinal purposes.
But don't look at its benefits to humans is very large, but toads are only a general term for the anuranoid toad family, and the real toads are divided into more than 300 species.
Among them, the toad loved by American citizens is the toad from the Sunolan Desert, and its appearance is basically the same as the toad we see in the countryside.
But compared to the toad that is only 8 centimeters common in our fields, the Sunolan desert toad can grow to a staggering 18 centimeters.
And on the back of the Sunoran desert toad covered with large and small bumps, it can also produce a toxin that can kill any predator that preys on it.
And the poisonous effect of this toxin is very amazing, it can make people who touch it vomit and heart problems, no matter from which point of view, the Sunolan desert toad is a very dangerous creature.
But even such a dangerous Sunoran desert toad has become a sweet potato in the eyes of some American citizens, and in the final analysis, because its poisonous glands can produce a so-called hallucinogen!
The scientific name of this hallucinogen is called 5-MeO-DMT, which is said to be a very powerful natural hallucinogen, and users who have been mistakenly ingested describe his feelings as follows:
When I take it, I feel a strong sense of euphoria, a sense of out-of-body in my soul, and vivid fantasies in front of my eyes!
It can be seen that this toad is indeed a very dangerous animal, but because this hallucinogen works very well, it is liked by some mentally unstable people, who believe that the toad's toxin can solve various diseases of anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Third, licking toads is a very dangerous behavior, don't try it easily!
Toads have been famous in ancient times, and the ancients often called them one of the four poisons, and these four poisons refer to: snakes, toads, scorpions, and centipedes.
Therefore, we can always see the strange poison made from toads as raw materials in various martial arts TV series, and the toxicity is still very large, so this makes toads rank second among the four poisons!
So we have to understand that the toxicity of toads is very high, especially the Colorado toads that can secrete white toxins, and the reason why many American citizens will look for them is not to know whether they are dead or alive!
It is very likely that they want to collect toxins from Colorado toads and dry them for future use.
It is very difficult to collect the toxins of the Colorado toad, and he needs to test the operator's skills in particular, and the slightest mistake can cause a chain reaction.
Some American addicts do not understand this, they just listen to some rumors, and believe that by licking toads, you can experience the pleasure of absorbing drugs!
However, 5-MeO-DMT, although a natural psychedelic agent secreted by toads, can also be inhaled or consumed, and produces a pleasure of about half an hour after use.
But in fact, licking toads not only does not produce pleasure, but also causes fatal danger, many drug addicts will appear oral and throat numbness after licking toads, and thus cause arrhythmia leading to obstructive cardiac arrest!
Write at the end
So this is why, the American media will openly issue a notice to prohibit Americans from secretly licking toads in Central Park!
This behavior may seem strange to us, but it is very popular in the United States, after all, in a country where cannabis is legal, people are pursuing more incorruptible psychedelic experiences!
