Lutz's death from poisonous frogs

Berta Lutz spent many years working on the taxonomy and systematics of poison arrow frogs. Eventually after handling so many specimens, she began to experience symptoms of poisoning. She sought treatment, including the services of a "witchdoctor" from a tribe of Amazonian Native Americans. Unfortunately, she ultimately succumbed to the cumulative effects of her research.

Although this information was general knowledge within the herpetological community at the time, I have been unable to find a source to cite. Therefore, I have not included her death in this WP article. Perhaps someone else could find a good source (obituary, death notice, memoriam) and then do so. 96.236.213.217 (talk) 15:39, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

"Bertha Lutz Comment

"Hi Rosie, I was working on Therezinha Zerbini tonight when I noticed Berta Lutz. Her real name was Bertha Lutz (explicitly named Bertha Lutz or ironically renamed as Adalberta Lutz, even Albertina Lutz), but User:Rsabbatini merged two contents in 2005 and renamed the article Berta Lutz. This happened because poet Lima Barreto "aportuguesou" (made it to Portuguese (language) in 1922. She was daughter of immigrants, as you know. The name Berta, appears in Uma atuação da Dona Berta, by Careta, 6 maio 1922, cited in Resende (45 kms from Volta Redonda, my hometown), Valença (the city where my parents were born and where I spent half of my childhood), 2004, p. 521. Therefore, I ask you, as sysop, to rename the article Bertha Lutz, according to my statement here. Thank you dear, Krenakarore ^TK 22:00, 17 June 2015 (UTC)  !"

• @Krenakarore: the renaming move is done. --Rosiestep (talk) 03:07, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

Bertha Lutz (August 2, 1894 – September 16, 1976) was a Brazilian zoologist, politician, and diplomat. She became a leading figure in the Pan-American feminist and human rights movements, and was instrumental in gaining women's suffrage in Brazil. In addition to her political work, she was a naturalist at the National Museum of Brazil, specializing in poison dart frogs. Her collections were destroyed in September 2018, when a fire devastated most of the museum's collections.

Article Edits Made on the 9th of Dec. 2021

Greetings Wikipedians,

I have been working on edits for this article for the past couple weeks within a sandbox environment for my Hist 197 course. Under the close supervision of my professor and fellow classmates, we have engaged secondary materials to research and flesh out Bertha Lutz's page. The edits made have been peer reviewed and, I believe, are in line with the guidelines of Wikipedia. With that said, I know a lot was changed and there was some material removed. I hope this was not done too fast, or to boldly, and I hope that the changes made are to the benefit of the public and Wikipedia. This has experience has grown my appreciation for the site immensely, and I look forward to any comments, changes, and potential growth that these edits and inclusions might spur. I also greatly appreciate any feedback that can be given. Thank you and best! — Preceding unsigned comment added by InternetExplora7 (talk • contribs) 01:31, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
