Other than the previously mentioned use as a biological control for pests, the cane toad has been employed in a number of commercial and noncommercial applications.
Traditionally, within the toad's natural range in South America, the Embera-Wounaan would " milk " the toads for their toxin, which was then employed as an arrow poison.
The toxins may have been used as an entheogen by the Olmec people.
The toad has been hunted as a food source in parts of Peru, and eaten after the removal of the skin and parotoid glands.
More recently, the toad's toxins have been used in a number of new ways: bufotenin has been used in Japan as an aphrodisiac and a hair restorer, and in cardiac surgery in China to lower the heart rates of patients.
