webfact Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Two older men die after eating wild toad found in rain in Nan By Coconuts Bangkok Grilled toad from a Thailand street vendor. Photo: likephot/Flickr BANGKOK: -- Two older men died after eating a grilled toad found in the rain on Sunday while a third man and two children also became sick from contact with the same dead toad. The toad-eating happened in Nan’s Thung Chang neighborhood. This morning, health officials went to the house where it happened to collect the rest of the toad meat to examine it for clues. Grilled toad is a common snack in the countryside. It’s not as common as eating rats and lizards, but it does happen. Most toads are not safe to eat. Many have deadly poison glands. These men picked the wrong type of toad to eat.

The Asian cane toad, introduced into Australia in the 1930s to eradicate sugar cane parasites, is deadly poison. These toads breed like crazy, and they're spreading across the north of the country. Wild life such as full size crocs eat these and it kills them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorris wont buy them and shes able to eat balaa 3 days in a row without dying. *edit* i was gonna write 3 days on the trot, she usually does get the trots for 3 days after eating that crap.

Skeptic7 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 If the toadstools don't getcha...the toads will! Most likely the Black-spectacled or Black-spined Toad. Breeds in HUGE numbers during the monsoon. The toads -- also known as the Javanese, black-spectacled or black-spined toad -- are long-living, rapid breeders that produce up to 40,000 eggs a year. Asian toads have also had an impact on human health, with reported cases of death and cardiac arrest in Laos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
