Trick question: The answer is a box jellyfish. Or a stonefish. Or a blue ringed octopus.

I'm not the only one, son.
"It is argued that dart frogs do not synthesize their poisons, but sequester the chemicals from arthropod prey items, such as ants, centipedes and mites – the diet-toxicity hypothesis. Because of this, captive-bred animals do not possess significant levels of toxins as they are reared on diets that do not contain the alkaloids sequestered by wild populations. In fact, new studies suggest that the maternal frogs of some species lay unfertilized eggs, which are laced with trace amounts of alkaloids, to feed the tadpoles. This behavior shows that the poisons are introduced from a very young age. Nonetheless, the captive-bred frogs retain the ability to accumulate alkaloids when they are once again provided an alkaloid-containing diet."You can't "get" me so easily.

Imagine if you were sleeping and someone dropped a whole golden dart frog in your mouth.

That would be rude.
Imagine if you went on this like multi day excursion that you lost your pack and couldn't find your way out and the only thing that kept you going was knowing you'd eventually get home and have a big bowl of chili. But then u get home by some miracle, crack the can, microwave that bit and take a bite...only to realize you accidentally purchased cans of meatless chili.
Just imagine.
