Toad Venom as an Aphrodisiac: Not a Good Idea!
A thirty five year old man died in the recently after taking a product touted as an aphrodisiac.
According to an article at MSNBC.com, the product is made from toad venom and is apparently sold under names like Jamaican Stone, Love Stone, Piedra, Black Stone and Chinese Rock.
Ingesting the product can cause a fatally abnormal heart rhythm similar to the one triggered in the recent victim.
The product is also not approved by the FDA.
So men, when it comes to getting it up, you better stick to your friend the little blue pill, Viagra.
Anything that has “venom” as its ingredient should really raise a red flag!
