When you get bit by a snake, you have to suck the poison out with your mouth. Haha

[TooManyToys]

Animals are venomous. Their venom is indeed, poisonous.

[binknit]

I thought venom was venomous and poison was poisonous.

[Ophiuchus]

Its really all about the delivery.

Venom is delivered via injection; fang, spine, spur, etc. Ex: venomous snakes, lionfish, stonefish, etc.

Toxins are natural "poisons" that are delivered via absorbtion or ingestion. Ex: poison dart frogs, pufferfish, firebelly toads, etc.

The term "poison" (at least in the medical field) is usually reserved for unnatural toxins; i.e. someone ingesting anti-freeze, or something. IN other words, non-biological.

[binknit]

That's what I thought. So can venom be poisonous?
