BBC said:
A South Korean man has died from poisoning after eating toads he had mistaken for edible bullfrogs.

Police said on Friday that he was among a group of men who caught five amphibians at a reservoir near the city of Daejeon in March.

Believing the animals were bullfrogs, the men cooked and ate them at a restaurant days later.

The 57-year-old man began vomiting soon after and was rushed to a hospital, where he died the next morning.

The toads were probably specially trained ninja toads parachuted in by the North Koreans.

It appears eating Bullfrogs in Korea is something of a civic duty, as part of an attempt to reduce the numbers of the invasive species...

"Bullfrog tastes just like chicken" says a woman on camera. "My children won't know the difference"

Well, they might if it turns out she doesn't know the difference between bullfrog and death-toad either.

The bullfrog burgers look intriguing though.....

Bufotenin will certainly get you out of your tree, but if you want a rather safer hallucinogenic experience, I think I'd stick with acid.
