dart frogs and hunters

Question
I can't seem to understand how hunters are not affected by the toxins from the frog. Is it cooked out, cut out or something else?
I didn't know if this really belongs in this section, but I didn't know where else to put it. ty

Answer
I'm not really sure what you're asking, to be honest. If you're asking how the hunters that used the frog's poison on the tips of their arrows to hunt with, they simply didn't touch the frogs. Depending on how the toxin works, it may not effect the meat at all, or enough to where it is harmful to them when they eat the creature.
