You go blind in the eye for a day. It happened to me twice, as on the irrigated farms toads breed, and cobras love toads. If you are sweaty, then you can get a nice rash on your arm if they spit on you there, as the poison can get into your blood through the pores. You really have to wash out the eye well with water; it's scary, but doesn't hurt as much as you would think, and the next day you can see again.
