In New Hampshire, the most notable poisonous salamander is the Eastern Newt (Notophthalmus viridescens), particularly in its eft stage, which is bright orange or red and can be toxic to predators. Another species is the Jefferson Salamander (Ambystoma jeffersonianum), which can also have mild toxins. However, these toxins are primarily a defense mechanism against predation and are not harmful to humans unless ingested in large quantities. Overall, while some New Hampshire salamanders possess toxins, they generally pose little threat to humans.
