The crossword clue "Contrary To Popular Belief, They Don’t Cause Warts" with the answer "TOADS" refers to the common misconception that touching toads can cause warts. This myth likely arose due to the bumpy, wart-like texture of a toad’s skin, which is actually harmless and serves as a defense mechanism. In reality, warts are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) and are not related to toads at all.

The clue highlights this popular but incorrect belief while pointing to the truth about these amphibians. "TOADS" fits as the answer because it directly addresses the creature tied to this myth. The clue playfully debunks the superstition, linking the answer to scientific fact. Thus, "TOADS" captures both the misconception and the truth behind it.
