If you eat frog legs will you get warts?

Absolutely not.
You get warts from human viruses, not from frogs and toads!
Frogs have slimy skin to stay moist when it is dry, and toads have bumpy skin to help camouflage them in their habitat. Some frogs and toads have paratoidal glands which secrete poisons as protection which can cause skin irritations and may be poisonous to some species of animals, but warts have nothing at all to do with the frogs themselves!

No absolutely not. Kissing frogs and getting warts is an old wives tale. Even if you kiss a frog (I'm not recommending this, mind you), you won't get a wart. Just a nasty taste in your mouth, I would guess.

No.
Frogs don't have warts, toads do. I doubt eating a toad will not cause warts either, but I don't think they taste very nice: There were toads everywhere in Hawaii and the dogs ate the grass,the birds and cat poop, but not the toads.

Yes! I ate frog legs while i was in Florida visiting my grandmother and I got warts all over my entire body. So may I suggest you eat chicken instead?

Of course not! That whole frog/toad and warts thing is a fairy tale.

No warts don't come from frogs. They are said to come from toads. But actually they don't. They are bacterial.
