Toxic Toads in Town
Another biblical plague event, much like the locusts, happened in modern day. This time it was frogs in Florida. Poisonous cane toads surged across the Palm Beach Gardens neighborhood in droves. Cane toads shoot toxins from their back when they feel threatened. The neighborhood saw mostly babies, as the breeding season was in full swing, and the little ones don’t carry enough toxin to be dangerous to pets or humans yet. The adults can kill a dog or cat if the poison gets in their mouths. Hundreds of the young toads infiltrated pools, yards, and even homes. Toad Busters, a toad removal company, had several people spending hours picking up as many of the invasive vermin as they could.
