Ancient Chinese medicine believed that the five poisons refer to the venom secreted by five animals: snakes, scorpions, spiders, toads and geckos. These venoms are highly toxic and can cause various adverse reactions in the human body, and the severe ones are life-threatening. Therefore, the five poisons are also known as the "first of a hundred poisons".
Severe neurological and cardiovascular reactions, even leading to death.
The venom of snakes can cause symptoms such as poisoning, bleeding, shock, and in severe cases, it can also be life-threatening.
The venom of centipedes can cause severe pain and local edema, with more serious health effects in children and the elderly. Therefore, people are especially careful when touching these animals.
Although the toads and geckos in the five poisons are not obviously toxic, their skin and body fluids contain a variety of harmful substances, which are also harmful to the human body.
In general, people usually avoid these "five poisons" when encountering them, but in the United States on the other side of the world, they hold the toad in their hearts and lick it in their mouths, and they are not afraid of this poisonous toad, what is going on?
Poisonous toads
National parks in the United States have issued multiple warnings with the help of the media, calling on people not to lick Sonora toads.
This is because the venom secreted by Sonora toads contains a substance called 5-MeO-DMT, which can produce effects similar to hallucinogens, but also carries serious physical and psychological harm.
The Sonora toad is a toad that grows in South America, and its venom contains a variety of harmful substances, including 5-MeO-DMT, Bufotenin and others. Among them, 5-MeO-DMT is a neurotransmitter-like substance that has a similar mechanism of action to the hallucinogen DMT, but more intensely. 5-MeO-DMT can cause violent psychological responses, including changes in consciousness, hallucinations, strong emotional experiences, etc.
However, unlike other hallucinogens, 5-MeO-DMT also has serious physical harm. The use of 5-MeO-DMT may cause severe physical reactions such as dyspnea, cardiovascular system disorders, stroke, myocardial infarction, and even life-threatening. In addition, the use of 5-MeO-DMT may also lead to psychological problems such as anxiety, depression, hallucinations, etc.
In fact, the act of licking toads is not as "fun" as some people think, but very dangerous. In addition, even the use of 5-MeO-DMT in a laboratory environment requires great care and caution to avoid unnecessary risks.
In 2002, a 23-year-old American man developed severe cardiovascular symptoms after licking a giant Sonora toad in a bar and had to undergo emergency treatment.
In 2014, a 7-year-old British boy picked up the toad at school and put his lips to its body, resulting in shortness of breath and facial swelling.
In addition, there are many scientific studies that have also proved the danger of this toad's skin secretions. For example, a 2006 study published in Nature showed that the toxin could block the activity of normal proteases in mammals and cause huge cardiovascular system symptoms and death.
In short, licking a Sonora toad is a very dangerous behavior, so why should anyone lick it?
Why go licking toads
Licking a Sonoran toad is a very dangerous behavior, but there are still some people who take risks to try this behavior. This may be related to substance abuse problems in the United States.

In some areas, toad licking is even considered a traditional therapy or mystical ritual. These people may not understand the harmful substances in toads and the physical and psychological hazards these substances.
This has to talk about the origin of licking toads.
The origin of licking toads
In the culture and traditions of the indigenous peoples of South America, licking toads is a traditional ritual and use of medicine, known as Kambo, a traditional medicine used by the indigenous peoples of South America to treat various diseases and symptoms.
According to archaeologists and anthropologists, the history of licking toads can be traced back to the indigenous culture of South America. In these cultures, the toad is considered a creature with mystical powers that has healing and spiritually enlightening properties.
Traditionally, Aboriginal people used the toad's skin secretions to treat many different ailments, including colds, headaches, digestive problems, skin diseases, and pains, among others.
In addition, the toad's skin secretions are also used in spiritual and spiritual rituals to help people gain spiritual revelation and healing.
Therefore, in many primitive tribes, the toad-licking ritual is a very important ritual and is considered to be a way to communicate with the natural world and gods.
Modern scientific research has shown that the bioactive compounds of the skin secretions of toads can have a variety of physiological and psychological effects on the human body. These effects include boosting immunity, reducing pain, and relieving anxiety and depression.
As a result, the skin secretions of toads are considered a potential therapeutic remedy and are used in modern medicine and alternative therapies in some regions, and toad skin has also been used in Chinese medicine.
In traditional Chinese medicine, according to traditional theory, toad skin tastes bitter and cold, has the function of clearing heat and detoxification, and can cool blood to stop bleeding, reduce swelling and relieve pain. Therefore, it is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat various diseases such as heat poison, external fever, sores and swelling.
In practice, toad skin is often used in combination with other Chinese medicines to enhance its efficacy. For example, it can be used in combination with Chinese medicines such as yellow cypress and forsythia to clear heat and detoxify, and can be used to treat carbuncles, sores and other diseases; It is used in combination with traditional Chinese medicines such as peach kernel and safflower to stop bleeding, and can be used to treat bleeding symptoms and other diseases.
Although toad skin is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine, there are certain risks and contraindications to its use. According to TCM theory, care needs to be taken to avoid excessive and long-term use when using to avoid adverse reactions. In addition, because toad skin has strong toxicity, the dosage and quality of use should be strictly controlled to avoid adverse reactions such as poisoning.
It can be seen that only in primitive tribes, people use crude and primitive methods to directly take venom to achieve the effect of treatment, while in modern medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, it is clearly stated that medicine can be used, but it must be handled by professional doctors and professionals before it can be used as medicinal herbs. Therefore, the act of licking toads is not only undesirable, but there is no treatment at all, there is no way to relieve stress, so don't try it.
