需要看医生不要触摸很少致命，但如果有人碰了或吃了它，要去看医生。

皮肤里有毒吃：肉碰了或吃了有毒，不注射毒液

The Asian common toad is a large toad found across much of South and Southeast Asia. It grows to about 20 cm long and is often seen at night under street lamps. It matters because it has spread to places where it does not belong, and experts worry it could harm local wildlife.1
