Mmmm... toad venom...
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080523/ap_on_he_me/killer_aphrodisiacHealth officials are warning New Yorkers to stay away from an illegal aphrodisiac made from toad venom after the product apparently killed a man.
The city's poison control center issued the warning Friday after receiving a hospital report that a 35-year-old man who ingested the hard, brown substance died earlier this month....
Health officials said the hardened resin, made with venom from toads of the Bufo genus, contains chemicals that can disrupt heart rhythms.
The aphrodisiac was supposed to have been applied to the skin, not eaten, but authorities said even that use can be harmful.Remember, NYC DUers, if you have the hard (!), brown substance, it is supposed to be applied to the skin, NOT eaten! Got that?
Jebus! At least Viagra only makes you see blue. :eyes:
