    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.

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

            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.
