Kambo: Australia investigates suspected frog mucus deaths – BBC News

Natasha Lechner died from a suspected cardiac event, while authorities believe Jarrad Antonovich died after injuries from severe vomiting.

Both incidents happened shortly after they used kambo – poisonous frog mucus – in an ancient Amazonian ritual.

And both took place in the northern New South Wales region – an area famous for its beautiful rainforests and stunning beaches, but also for its alternative therapy scene.

A coroner is now investigating what went wrong and if anything could have been done to save the pair.

Make a note kids: Don’t ingest any frog mucus next time you’re in Australia. Generally speaking, the mucus of any animal is to be avoided, except perhaps oysters.

Also: funny, they don’t like they’d eat frog mucus.
