Page "Cane toad" Paragraph 43
from
Wikipedia
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 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.
