Small creatures and creepy-crawlies, sentence 8

Warts are caused by a human virus, so toads can't give you warts; some toads have skin that irritates, so wash your hands after touching one.

Who acts: human virus, toads, skin · What happens: cause, not give, have, irritate, wash, touch · To what, where: Warts, you, skin, hands, one
