"Florida Neighborhood Besieged By Thousands Of Poisonous Toads"

"Thousands of poisonous toads have flooded a South Florida neighborhood, raising fears about the dangers they pose to pets and children, according to local reports.

The toads started appearing in Palm Beach Gardens, a city of 55,000, north of Miami, in recent weeks, according CBS Miami.

They have been found in people’s gardens, swimming pools, sidewalks and driveways in the Mirabella neighborhood, according to footage shared by WPTV, an NBC affiliate in Palm Beach.

“I just see a massive amount of toads or frogs everywhere, covering every square inch,” resident Jenni Quasha told WPTV. “You can’t even walk through the grass without stepping on one.”"
