But h is that they are venomous. If an adult aga toad is bitten or startled, it releases a milky mucus that contains a substance that stops the heart. Dogs often suffer from this poisoning, with symptoms ranging from foaming at the mouth to complete cardiac arrest. People who foolishly eat toads usually die.
