Question: Is it a wives tale or truth that if you hold a toad you will get warts?
When we were kids they say don't hold frogs/toads or you will get warts. true or false

Answers:

No. Warts are caused by viruses, and that particular virus isn't carried by toads. Some toads are slightly toxic though, so they might be able to cause some temporary skin irritation.

Most people might tell you that a toad does cause warts, but that is just a myth. Toads are wart free.



It's not true. There's no way you can actually get warts from a toad.



wives tale
