Are there any poisonous toads in WA state?

Yes, Washington state is home to the Western Toad, which can secrete toxins through its skin as a defense mechanism. While these toxins can be harmful if ingested, they are not typically lethal to humans. The primary risk comes from pets, particularly dogs, which may be attracted to the toads and can suffer serious health effects if they bite or consume them. It's important for pet owners to be aware of this risk when in areas where these toads are present.
