The superstition is that toads give you warts, not frogs -- and it is not true. I have held many toads ( and frogs) and I do not have warts

Acually no animals gives us warts. The only way to get a wart is by being exposed to the virus that causes them. If you know someone with warts, don't share shoes or touch their warts or you'll get them!!! The reason why people think you get them from frogs and toads is because they have rought wart like skin, and some species can secerite poison, but no warts.

No toads usually do but you can get them from some frogs, just make sure to wash up after handling to reduce the risk. hahaha was probably trying to rape the toad because he can't get any and he got warts out of being an idiot.

The legend is that toads give you warts. This is absolutely a lie and I have handled many, many frogs and toads with my bare hands and my hands are baby-smooth.
Its just a well known legend because toads have warts themselves.
