Importantly licking them will cause no effect to be felt whatsoever since DMT derivatives break down in the digestive tract. One who is so inclined would excrete the white liquid from the glands on the sides of the head and then vaporize the dried secretion. Please do not do this. It is clearly not a pleasant process for the toad.
