British wellness coach dies ‘after detox ceremony using Amazonian tree frog poison’

Kristian Trend, 40, a British wellness coach and cancer survivor, died after a Kambo detox ceremony in Leicester — making him reportedly the first UK fatality linked to the Amazonian frog-poison ritual, which remains legal to purchase in Britain.
