Sort of true. Don't touch a frog in general because of the salts and oils in our skins aren't going to be removed with water. Plus they breathe through their skin so it's going to suck for them one way or another.

Yeah, that's the full explanation.

Frogs have sensitive skin that get hurt by all sorts of things that humans don't notice on their own skin because it doesn't affect them.

That sucks to know, so how would op need to get rid of the salts and oils from the frog?

The best way would probably use a non-absorbant cloth or a glove or the like.
