Oh, Toads!
They sing, they swim, they burrow into the desert soil and emerge with the monsoon rains. Magical.
And there’s more to their magic, too. See that glossy sheen? Native Americans (and other adventurous sorts) lick that shiny slime in an effort to experience it’s hallucinogenic properties.
Risk-averse as I am, I’ve never indulged, but it’s curious, isn’t it?
What would you do?
Although I’ve kissed a few toads in the past, I would not lick it! =P
In some cases, however, the licking would have fewer negative consequences than the kissing!
