Is it true that if you touch a toad, warts will appear?

Good! Warts are a sure sign of worms. The only 100% way to get rid of warts is to treat the nasty growth with fresh juice from a freshly plucked celandine stem - for the entire period of its flowering. Once a day is sufficient, but abundant. They will come off guaranteed - in the southern regions it is a weed, so boldly and with patience. After laser burning, in most cases they reappear. Good luck!

This is a misconception: frogs and toads can be touched without risk to health, neither you nor children will get any warts. A wart is a small, benign growth on the skin, like a bump, that is caused by the human papillomavirus. Human - no amphibian can carry the human papillomavirus. At the same time, the skin of frogs and toads, like our skin with you, of course, is not sterile clean, bacteria live on it. But bacteria live everywhere: on the skin of animals, and on plants, and on the ground, so after touching frogs or toads, or even if you did not touch them at all, you still need to wash your hands when you come home.

Warts are caused by a virus and have nothing to do with touching the toad. This myth arose, most likely, due to the fact that most toads have growths (glands) on their skin, similar to warts.
