Instructions for Use

Peel off all the scaly skin from its body and apply it directly to the wound. Use a needle to prick several holes in the toad’s skin to release the toxic fumes. When applied to boils and sores, this treatment brings a sense of calm and comfort; it also helps the skin adhere to the wound, preventing it from spreading, and protects against the risk of centipedes being attracted by the scent and invading the area.
