The dyeing poison dart frog is a small, brightly marked frog from the rainforests of north-eastern South America. It is one of the largest poison dart frogs and one of the most colourful, with more than 30 recognised colour forms. Its skin contains toxins, so it is a frog to admire from a distance.1

Forza tossica

Tissi en sia pel

Sia pel è tossica. Igl è privlus d'al tutgar, d'al litgar u d'al mangiar.

Tge fa sia substanza tossica?

Its skin secretions contain alkaloids, which are toxic chemicals that interfere with nerve and muscle tissue. They can cause pain, cramping and stiffness, and in severe cases locomotor difficulties, convulsions, paralysis or death. In a reported case in Brazil, two men who handled the frog felt numbness within about 20 minutes, and the symptoms had gone after 40 minutes.1

Quant privlus è el per umans?

Privel per umans: DolurusQuai po far propi mal, ma i n'è bunamain mai grav.

The frog is toxic if eaten, and its skin toxins can affect anyone who handles it. In a reported case, two adult male photographers in the Brazilian Amazon both had mild numbness that passed within 40 minutes. Their symptoms could have been worse with longer contact or if there had been a wound where they touched the frog.1

Tge fa el, cura ch'el ha tema?

Its bright colours warn predators that its skin secretions are unpleasant, and predators that bite it tend to link the colours with the pain.1

Sch'insatgi l'ha tutgà u mangià
