When frogs pee on you do you get warts from their urine? |
[Edit] 
No way. That is an urban legend. I have never had that happen to me, nor has anyone I've ever met, so I think you're pretty safe. This coming from a guy who can't keep his hands off of reptiles and amphibians.
Warts are caused by a virus, Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). Frogs and toads don't carry that virus, so you aren't going to get it from them.
Some frogs are poisonous, especially in the tropics. But they do not carry the virus that causes warts, though they may have poisons on their skin that can kill a you. One example is the dart frog.
