This code signifies a patient presenting with adverse health effects resulting from skin contact with a venomous frog, where the intent (accidental, intentional self-harm, assault) of the exposure is not yet determined. The patient is in the acute phase of treatment for these toxic effects.

Apply this code when a patient seeks medical attention for symptoms like skin irritation, systemic toxicity, or other reactions following direct contact with a venomous frog, and the circumstances surrounding the exposure are still under investigation. This is appropriate for the initial visit or active treatment phase.

• Requires an additional code to specify the specific toxic effects or symptoms experienced by the patient.
• The "undetermined" seventh character indicates that the intent of the exposure is not documented or is unknown at the time of coding.
• Ensure documentation clearly states contact with a "venomous frog" to support this specific code.
