Amphibian's skin is very permeable.  It is almost like our 
intestines....except the frog/toad/tadpole has less control of what it 
swims in than we have over what we put in our mouths.

Last summer we had many tadpoles in our burn pit.  I was surprised as I 
thought the water would be pretty nasty.  Cu++, etc.

BTW, I saw a tree frog on the back deck yesterday.
