“One thing that I noticed tonight is that the frog Sawyer and Hurley were holding is a Poison Arrow/Dart Frog. These frogs contain poison that can kill human beings by entering through cuts, the mouth or even permeating unbroken skin. The poison is like curare and affects the heart and may cause hallucinations. The skin is used as a poison for blowgun darts and arrows by some tribes of the rainforest of Colombia. Some species are considered to be among the deadliest animals in the world with enough poison per frog to kill 10 adults. The toxicity varies due to the "cicle-of-life" situation of each frog. These frogs eat insects. The vegetation that the insect eat actually influences the toxicity of the frogs sweat. Since nothing on this island is safe, I'm betting these frogs are very toxic. I'm sure it's no coincidence that they used a Poison Arrow Frog in this episode. The fact that Sawyer squished it in his hand is even more concerning. He, in essence squeezed venom into his hand, then handed it to Hurley.”

Its a damn damn shame this didn't pan out in the next episodes as i liked the fact it was picked up on and could have lead to some funny or serious situations. Maybe Hurley and Sawyer are scrupulously clean and had a good wash soon afterwards :)

It would have given a whole new point to the frog chase and kill. Especially as its one of the few animals we have actually seen on the island.

Woohoo! So maybe the tree frog did do the biz on Hurley.. Even Dave mentions tree frogs (as well as Sawyer and Hurley) in the episode. Excellent :)

Pacific?

  • Why is this article specific to a pacific tree frog? -- C¯ _Santa_ ¯T06:01, 15 September 2006 (PDT)

Rename for capitalization

The tree frog is not a proper noun. Rename to Tree frog. -- C¯ _Santa_ ¯T12:26, 13 October 2006 (PDT)

Rename

  • I propose we rename this article to "Frog". We can easily reference that the survivors refer to it as "tree frog" in the episode, but the fact is that we are promoting scientific inaccuracy.--Overworkedirish 17:27, 29 April 2008 (PDT)
  • 'Disagree It's called tree frog in the show. Matthew7785 03:16, 8 May 2008 (PDT)
  • Hm.. For an issue as hard hitting as this I propose the rename to frog with a redirect to it from Tree Frog. Everybody happy! :) --Lewis-Talk-Contribs 06:52, 13 May 2008 (PDT)

Disagree - as per Matthew7785. --CTS 19:27, 4 June 2008 (PDT)

Since there are no other frogs on the show, we'll rename to the more general "frog" for now. If another frog article is needed, we'll return to this discussion. How's that? Robert K S (talk) 08:32, 16 June 2008 (PDT)
I concur. --Nickb123 (Talk) 17:06, 19 June 2008 (PDT)
Right, it has been two months - let's finish this - moving to Frog. --Nickb123 (Talk) 07:51, 30 June 2008 (PDT)
I still say it should be The Frog. His appearance was unique in the continuity of LOST and he deserves a definitive article before his name.  Kevrock   talk  contribs   12:09, 1 July 2008 (PDT)

Rewrite

In anticipation of it's renaming, I did some work on the article. Added some xrefs, quotes, expounded upon the narrative. I'm totally nominating it for AOTW.  Kevrock   talk  contribs   09:32, 16 June 2008 (PDT)
