Another nice article on topic with a focus on medieval treatment of both toads and frogs.
It may be difficult to distinguish. Although toad does seem to be the better bet.
As an aside, frogs of course can be poisonous as well. The frogs my students dissected during a stint l had as a bio teacher excreted a poison mucus - so gloves were needed. But if l remember right, l think they were originally from S. America (no, not poison Dart frogs - they were not colorful) so highly unlikely to be applicable to the VM.
