All monitors have "venom" in their saliva?

[allergenic]

So yesterday I was talking to a friend while handling this baby water monitor and he said that all monitors do have a little venom in their saliva.

Venom in some lizards including varanids is really old news, I'm surprised this still comes up on message boards (seemingly always with some guy answering "no it's bacteria"). 2002 called, it wants its misinformation back.
