Warts are caused by viruses and have nothing to do with handling frogs and toads.
See your doctor about having the warts removed!

Warts are a viral illness, the strange idea that you can get them from toads ( rather than frogs), has been around since the middle ages.

they used to say toads not frogs could give you warts. untrue as it is a virus spread by contact with another person's wart..unless they are french you won't catch one off a frog

no they dont cause warts. when i was a kid i used to pick up those big toads that everyone calls frogs. i still do now sometimes. i work with a guy that is scared of them so sometimes i'll find one and show it to him. i think its funny that a grown man can be scared of something like that.

No, handling frogs doesn't cause warts.

No they dont. If people have warts usually they carry the warts virus there are no other effects that the person would know they had it.

You won;t get warts from them, but they can sometimes carry salmonella bacteria on their skin and you could get a nasty case of diarrhea from that. Wash your hands with hot water and soap after handling them and don't touch your eyes or mouth before you have washed.

Absolutely false. This is the sort of rumour that used circulate in times as far back as the Dark Ages.
