Sun Qing used a finger to touch the back of the green toad. Then, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped that finger.

"Usually, the toxicity of toad poison isn't very strong. It's okay for us to touch them with our bare hands. As long as we don't get the poison into our eyes or ingest it, nothing serious will happen to us," Sun Qing continued.

If a person touches it, it will cause him or her unbearable pain and itch. That's why I have been very careful around it for the past few days."

"There are indeed a few toad species that are very poisonous, but this one doesn't belong to one of them," Sun Qing replied while nodding his head.
