Angry Ha Ha Ha Ha All laugh at me :(

Only I could be careless enough to get "mild poisoning" from Oriental fire bellied toads!

I was doing some photography with these little guys on wednesday and wasn't really paying attention. 24 hours later my lips started swelling and I had a racing heart rate, pains throughout my body and head

It turned out ( after looking back ) I'd been handling them frequently through the shoot and some how I'd either touched my face or lips without thinking. I can be such an idiot sometimes Anyway, lesson learnt!

here are some of their pics

Not necessarily.... you could touch the toads with gloved hands and still touch your face/eyes/mouth whilst still wearing them thus transferring any toxins or bacteria!!
