The golden dart frog is the most poisonous frog in the world.

It measures 47 mm and belongs to the dendrobatidae family. Their poison is used by the Embera Indians of Colombia in dart poisoning.

According to Charles W. Myers, the frog contains up to 1900 micrograms (µg) of toxins.

These frogs are considered potentially dangerous to humans if not handle properly. Even a small amonot of the poison would be fatal if it reaches the bloodstream through cuts or open wounds in the skin.

This answer should have quotation marks or something since it is directly copied from the source website right?

I summarized the facts on this one and rephrase some, I did not copy/paste it. Should I still put quotes on it or is there something I should have done that I am not aware of? Thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it.

Hey I'm sorry, you are completely right. For some reason when I looked at your source I thought it was copy/pasted, but I don't know what I was thinking.

Cute but deadly. They were used to poison the tips of darts hence the name.

Quote------------
They warn that “these frogs should be considered as potentially dangerous humans if improperly handled” (7) as even “a small fraction of the poison from one of the … frogs would be lethal to man if gotten into the bloodstream through an open wound. The skin secretions are also irritating to porous skin and poisonous if ingested.”
