This can lead to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_failure" target="_blank">heart failure</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrillation" target="_blank">fibrillation</a>.  Alkaloid batrachotoxins can be stored by frogs for years after the frog  is deprived of a food-based source, and such toxins do not readily  deteriorate, even when transferred to another surface. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken" target="_blank">Chickens</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog" target="_blank">dogs</a> have died from contact with a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper" target="_blank">paper</a> towel on which a frog had walked ?????????????????????? The golden poison frog, like most other poisonous frogs, stores its poison in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin" target="_blank">skin</a> glands. Due to their poison, the frogs taste vile to predators; P. terribilis poison kills whatever eats it, except for a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake" target="_blank">snake</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Liophis_epinephelus&action=edit&redlink=1" target="_blank">Liophis epinephelus</a>. This snake is resistant to the frog's poison, but is not completely immune. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/dull.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":dull:" title="Dull    :dull:" data-shortname=":dull:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/dull.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":dull:" title="Dull    :dull:" data-shortname=":dull:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/dull.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":dull:" title="Dull    :dull:" data-shortname=":dull:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/dull.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":dull:" title="Dull    :dull:" data-shortname=":dull:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/dull.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":dull:" title="Dull    :dull:" data-shortname=":dull:" /> THIS IS JUST A TRIAL [YOUTUBE]kKH1O7y8WXA[/YOUTUBE] The average dose carried will vary between locations, and consequent local diet, but the average wild P. terribilis is generally estimated to contain about one <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milligram" target="_blank">milligram</a>  of poison, enough to kill about 10,000 mice. This estimate will vary in  turn, but most agree that this dose is enough to kill between 10 and 20  humans, which correlates to up to two African bull elephants.This is roughly 15,000 humans per gram. </blockquote>
