Yes, when I was very young, we had a water filter in the kitchen. Some nights, we will hear some sounds behind this earthen filter. So, as a kid, I was curious and went there to look. Armed with a small torchlight, I will peer and peek into the dark recesses. Suddenly a pear of gleaming orange-yellow eyes stared back at me. the it let off an eerie croak and its under part of its mouth moved up and down. I screamed in fright. My dad came running and told me it is only a toad. It was real hideous-looking,I must say. In later years, when I married, My husband would catch frogs from time to time. I followed him on one of those frog hunting expeditions into the secondary forests. Suddenly from the wet mangrove, something leaped in front and landed on my arm. It was a greenish frog and croaked as it landed on me. I screamed in utter disgust. Since then I have kept away from both frogs and toads. It is not really the fear of them but more the disgust to look at them. Do you like frogs and toads? Do you have nay untoward experience with them. Do tell us your stories.

Hello happy I am in agreement with you. I'm not overly keen on frogs and toads either. I know they do not cause harm (not here in the UK) but it is their jumping and that makes me jump and I normally let out a shriek lol I also don't like to touch them, it's the preconception that they are slimy and I am sure they are not all like that but I cannot bring myself to touch one at all. Thankfully I've not had one land on me like yourself, and I have no idea what I would do if one did.

I am not afraid of neither. Yes toads are ugly to look at as its skin is not even. If it gets hurt by another animal,it will emit noxious liquids from these punctures and the attacker will leave it alone. Frogs are those with thinner and finer skins and the have long legs that they used to leap. Frogs are endangered as many people eat frog legs. Apparently, frog meat taste like spring chicken and so woe betide frogs which are caught for they will inevitably end up in a frying wok.
