A spiritual cleansing had a fatal result. On Dec. 1, Marcela Alcázar Rodríguez died after she ingested kambo, a poisonous substance on the skin of the Amazonian giant monkey frog, local outlets reported. She was 33.

Per the outlets, Rodríguez was attending a retreat in Durango, Mexico, as part of her Healer Training Diploma. After ingesting the substance, Rodríguez began vomiting and having diarrhea.

Rodríguez asked for help when she became ill, but was denied permission to leave the retreat, the outlets claimed. Rodríguez’s friend eventually took her to the local Red Cross, where she later died.

This is some new trendy way to "magically" heal people of their self inflicted issues by the looks of it:


In March of this year, Beth Marsh, a 29-year-old photographer from London, paid about $85 to have small circles of her skin burnt and anointed with kambo, the poison of an Amazonian giant leaf frog, before being induced to vomit into a bucket to a soundtrack of shamanic chanting.

Marsh had decided to undertake the ceremony—part of a growing fashion for “life-changing” Amazonian medicine drugs such as the hallucinogenic plant infusion ayahuasca—because she had heard that kambo could help her stop getting drunk all the time. Over the last five years, a serious addiction to GBL had turned into a destructive relationship with alcohol; she had passed out on dance floors after drinking ten Jägermeisters too many times.

“The ceremony was quite nice at the beginning. We were in someone’s living room. It was dimly lit, and I was kneeling in front of a small shrine with a glass frog, next to two young guys I’d never met before,” says Marsh. “The practitioner was singing shamanic songs and wafting sage incense around our bodies. In the background, there was a stereo playing rainforest sounds. [The practitioner] made three small circular surface burns on the skin of my arm with a lighted stick, and dabbed them with a translucent drop of the frog poison, using a piece of bark. I was thinking, What the fuck is going to happen now?”

As the poison entered her lymphatic system, Marsh felt her head rushing. She said it felt like she’d taken “loads of poppers.” After about a minute came the purging: She started projectile vomiting into a bucket. The man to her left had become emotional and was crying, and the other guy was also getting sick. She felt a togetherness with her fellow kambo users. The practitioner looked after them and muttered encouragement. Then they relaxed, ate some fruit, and talked through what had just happened.

How Amazonian Tree Frog Poison Became the Latest Treatment for Addiction

The use of kambo—the poison of a bright green frog—is on the rise as an alternative treatment for depression and drug dependency. But does it actually work?
