What it concludes

• British health and medical groups warn against the practice of kambo ceremonies, stating that the frog secretion can cause severe vomiting, rapid heart rate, seizures, liver failure, and death.
• There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that kambo can improve injured knees, heart blockages, or mental health issues.
• 85% of the population does not have worm parasites.
• According to the World Health Organization, about 24% to 25% of the global population is infected with intestinal parasites, including parasitic worms, with higher rates occurring in areas with limited clean water.
• There is no scientific evidence to suggest that an aversion to sage indicates parasitic infestation.
• Although deriving from specific cultural traditions, spitting on kambo before ingestion can cause an elevated risk of bacterial and viral infection and impede wound healing.
