yeah, it's something about the skin and the liquid they release that is spooking dominicans. it can irritate the skin, apparently. and some toads can be poisonous when ingested (by pets).
miesposo also hates touching them. when we get one of those giant ass toads in the back garden (where dogs reside) i carry it out. never had a problem even though few "peed" on my hand.
we have few living in the front garden, peacefully sharing the space with cats.

i never took any precautions handling the toads. never a problem. you just need to be gentle. maybe they know i ain't gonna hurt 'em. cute things.
Not Dominican but I am afraid of frogs, they gross me out. I don't want their slimy things to touch my beautiful sensitive skin :cheeky:
PS: DV8 would find a dirty rat cute, so she is no indication of western women reaction lol
I had to laugh when I read this. With graduate and undergraduate degrees in Biology and thirty years teaching it, including lab, I couldn't begin to tell you how many frogs I have handled. Some were preserved in formaldehyde and others were alive.
This Western woman has handled not only frogs but also sharks, turtles and even living cockroaches in various lab courses. I have not had the choice to be afraid or grossed out.
