Wikipedia states that Bufo bufo contains Bufagin, which is defined as "a class of toxic steroids". Several of these steroids are listed with information about what species have them. Nothing is said about Bufo bufo.
Therefore I am wondering... what does the venom of Bufo bufo contain? Does it really contain a bufagin in a concentration toxic to humans? Does it contain 5-MeO-DMT or Bufotenin? Does other tryptamine containing toads, such as Bufo alvarius, also contain these bufagins?

Wouldn't it be possible to extract only the 5-OH and 5-MeO from the venom? And isn't the toxins destroyed by heat if you try to smoke the venom? I know some people with Bufo alvarius that smoke their venom, and they sware to it being non-toxic.
