      Interesting question! Saying “would they die TOO” implies that you think YOU would die. That’s fairly unlikely; though some frogs are capable of generating enough toxin to bring down several humans, encounters with most ‘poisonous’ frogs are unlikely to be fatal (though they might be to smaller predators, such as birds). But just so we’re clear, I’m NOT suggesting you try it to find out!
