    Humans aren’t the only ones to do this. Many animals eat plants that don’t kill them but are deadly to their predators / parasites.

        Lol what is this article?

        First

        Poison dart frogs are not poisonous in captivity because they do not have access to the specific insects that they would eat in the wild which contain the toxins that make them poisonous.

        Also

        It is a common misconception that dart frogs lose their poison in captivity. In reality, they only lose their toxicity when they are exposed to certain chemicals found in captivity, such as cleaners and pesticides

        Later

        They acquire these toxins as they eat certain insects in their environment that contain them. So if a poison dart frog is ever relocated to an area where these insects don’t exist, it will lose its toxicity over time.

        Finally… it’s fine if you’re not worries about getting poisoned

        Some people handle their poison dart frogs with gloves, but this isn’t necessary unless you have an open wound on your hand or you’re particularly worried about getting poisoned.

          Poison dart frogs aren’t actuallu poisonous, unless they are, in which case, they are poisonous

          Yeah I’m going to be honest. When I went to link an article, I just did a Google search and looked for the first article that wasn’t completely trashed with ads. Just briefly skimmed the article, not enough to tear it apart obviously.

          I’m seeing alot of these extremely low effort articles recently that are, for some reason, ranked very highly by google. AI spam probably?

            The Internet is so fucking trash now. Video game solutions and mobile issue resolutions are two things I can personally confirm are no longer found in the first page of Google results.

            It’s almost certainly machine generated text. And I’m terrified of a future where I need to first sort out 10 poorly written AI articles until I find something that’s actually written by a human and coherent.

              That’s … now. That’s literally already the case. I rarely find good a good result on the first page anymore.

            Almost? I’ve seen two other articles this week that were self-contradictory mere sentences apart. I’m pretty sure this is an AI plague.

        What’s truly amazing is how the frogs learned to make and use darts.
