Can touching a toad give you warts? No, but they do have warts that contain toxins. Warts, on the other hand, appear on humans who have been exposed to the HPV virus. This condition causes bumps on the skin because skin cells begin to grow at an accelerated rate. HPV can be transmitted from human to human or by touching a surface that contains the virus, but not from a toad.
