or not, the toad is one of the common amphibians and a typical amphibian. One of the key characteristics of toads is their ugly appearance, because their body surface is covered with pimples. In addition, toads are poisonous animals, so many people dare not approach them. For toads themselves, their toxins are very important tools that can be used to defend themselves. When they encounter natural enemies threatening their lives, they will use toxins to protect themselves. However, for humans, their toxins are harmful and can cause some toxic reactions in humans.
Although toads are poisonous and harmful to humans, the toxin can be helpful if they are used in the right way. In fact, toad toxin is widely used in medicine, which can be said to be a very important medicinal animal, and also has the function of health care, so its economic value is relatively high. It is precisely because of this application, the toad has a nickname is "toad treasure".
? As mentioned above, the toad is poisonous. Toad toxins are liquid, generally white, and are secreted mainly by their sebaceous glands. Toads have a lot of sebaceous glands, and the lumps on the surface of toads that can be observed by human eyes are their sebaceous glands. Although these sebaceous glands are different in size, they all have the function of secreting venom. Among them, the largest sebaceous gland of toads is their postauricular gland, which is located above the eardrum of their head, and can be clearly observed if carefully observed. When the toad encounters an enemy, the venom secreted by these poison glands can play an important role.
