‘First British victim’ dies after frog poison detox

Kristian Trend died after taking part in a tree frog toxin ceremony (Kambo) in Leicester, marking the first reported British death linked to the practice.
The inquest into Trend's death is expected to be opened at the coroner's court in Leicestershire as investigators review the case.
Kambo involves applying secretions from a tree frog to skin burns and is used by some communities for cleansing and fertility rituals.
Indigenous groups have warned against online sales and self-administration of Kambo without proper preparation and consent.
UK authorities emphasize caution with substances posing public health risks and are reviewing such therapies.
Trend had survived Burkitt lymphoma before his death, according to his mother, who spoke publicly after the ceremony.
A fundraiser has been set up to support Trend’s family and a charity they care about.
The ceremony uses small burns on the skin where secretions are applied, part of the toxic detox ritual practiced by some Amazonian communities.
Trend, a wellbeing coach by profession, worked in health-related fields before his death.
The Telegraph reported exclusive details about Trend's participation and collapse following the Kambo ceremony.
