Kambo: A ritualistic healing substance from an Amazonian frog and a source of new treatments

Kambo is the name of a complex mixture of a number of bioactive peptides, secreted via the skin of a tropical frog, Phyllomedusa bicolor. Since centuries this secretion is harvested from the living animal by members of tribes living in the Amazonian forest, and applied to little wounds in the arms or legs, in orderto enhance hunting skills.
