Another day, another weird death for a Russian oligarch - death by toad

[Richard D]

Subbotin visited the shaman, Magua, and his wife at their home, the Telegram channel Mash claims, to treat a hangover using toad venom.

"They made an incision on the skin, dripped toad poison there – and after vomiting the patient allegedly got better," the channel said.

Mash also claims that Subbotin knew the couple for a long time and had regularly used their services.

1. There's a new cult in town

Toad smokers. Apparently a toad in the Sonora desert emits a hallucinogenic substance that cures you of all ails. Now this is the first I've heard of dripping the poison into a wound; sounds like a bad idea.
