Geckos are common reptiles, especially in warm and humid areas. They can often be seen on the walls, ceilings and even furniture of houses. Many people hold two extreme views on geckos: some people think they are pests that may carry toxins and are harmful to human health; while some people think geckos are "beneficial insects" in the home and can help eliminate pests such as mosquitoes and cockroaches. So, are the places where geckos crawl poisonous? Do they really pose a threat to human health?
This article will discuss in detail whether geckos will pollute the environment or affect human health from multiple perspectives, including the physiological characteristics of geckos, possible hygiene problems, whether they carry toxins and how to prevent potential risks.
✅ Geckos are non-venomous animals. They do not secrete venom like some poisonous snakes and spiders, nor do they actively release toxins.
✅ All gecko species in the world do not have venom glands, so their skin, claws or feces do not contain toxic substances.
✅ You will not be poisoned if you touch the gecko by mistake. Even if your hands directly touch the skin of the gecko, there is no risk of poisoning.
