See a vet. If the water didn't actually boil, the frog might be OK.

I should see a Dr and soon, maybe best to go to A+E or your local walk in centre as they have direct access to the National Poisons Centre.
Even if the frog was not poisonous it could have been diseased and you also do not know if was dead or alive when it went into the kettle. If it were dead it may have been dead for sometime.
It could be possible to contract salmonella in this case. Also if you know who did this then please report them to the police because they not only possibly caused unimaginable horror and harm to the poor frog but they could have caused you all serious injury or illness. This goes beyond the harmless office prank and enters the realms of psychopathology (i.e. very sick person!).

sure this question is a wind up, but just in case...
you should establish the type of frog as some are highly poisoness and then consult a doctor but obviously some frogs are bred for eating and it depends very much on the breed. As for the so and so who put it in the kettle, he deserves to be fired and reported to rspca for cruelty, creature must have had an awful death.

Buy the book "How to Survive in an Office Environment" (I do not know how it has been written yet).
Two points, most likely you are winding us up, or somebody is winding you up. Drinking tea out of the office kettle is disgusting*. I used to bring my own kettle. (*A few bit of dead toad would not make much difference, apart from the hallucinations: "oh look there is a prince in my brew!")

i think your knowing the frog was boiled in there is making you feel sick. but then again, why was someone boiling a frog? are you sure you weren't drinking frog stew instead of coffee?

wahahahaha - on you! But u never know - some frogs do have toxins on their skin (u hear of people licking types of frog/toad and hallucinating) - so maybe go to the doctor but I guess drink lots of water to get it out your system. Grrrribbbbit!

If the frog was previously emerged in formaldehyde then
YES. YOU'VE GOT PROBLEMS!
If the frog was a type that produces a toxin as a part of it's defense mechanism then
YES. YOU'VE GOT PROBLEMS!

now if you had added the eye of a newt and a red-spoted mushroom picked on a south-facing hill at the stroke of midnight, you would have had the perfect witches spell for turning invisible. But I'm afraid frog-water doesn't work on its own.

Consult a doctor straight away to sort out the sicko wanker that pulled this "prank".......doctor can either have prankster sectioned....attend to prankster's multiple bruising following bashing from their work colleagues or refer prankster to burns\scalds clinic following what I hope you will offer as a taste of their own medicine.
