    poison dart frogs aren't real. they are a dungeons and dragons monster. if you touch one you get hit with the magic spell "poison dog fart" for 2d12 damage

        But let's get weird and circuitous with it

        #Nicotine was developed by plants to kill insects. As a quirk of #neurochemistry, humans use it addictively, so cigarette butts are everywhere

        Birds have figured out they can use them in their nests to repel insect parasites

        The original intention of nicotine

        Weird!
