lmao, not an english native speaker here. What would be, in english language, the difference between poisonous and venomous? Lifting aside the “pois” and the “ven”.
Poison, however, will probably still kill you if you inject it into your bloodstream. Then again, most things will kill you if you inject it into your bloodstream.
I don’t speak Spanish, but just looking at the alternative options Google Translate provides when you only input a single word, it’s possible that “tóxico” might be a clearer translation of “poisonous”.
Keep in mind that poisonous and venomous are only different in a scientific context. In regular conversation people use them to mean the same thing (or at least they use poisonous to mean both-- venomous is less used in casual contexts)

Poisonous: will make you sick if you eat it. Venomous: will make you sick if it bites or stings you.
Wait. So what if you ate the snake… wouldn’t that mean at that point it could be poisonous? Checkmate.
If you consume venom and don’t have any open sores, you should be fine in most cases.

Poison is in the fangs not the meat
Venom is transported through the fangs just so a bunch of children don’t go eating a bunch of venom glands…
I mean… a fang can be eaten. Dogs eat all sorts of weird stuff.
Fair enough lol
Yes, venom is poisonous. It is a subset of poisons that are injected via bites or stings.
Bears are venomous and lava is poisonous. Got it
If we follow this logic, bears are both poisonous and venomous.

Poisons are ingested where as venoms are injected.
If you bite (or drink, etc.) it it’s poison. If it bites (or stings, etc.) you it’s venom.
I was told that if something dies from poison and you eat it then it is dangerous. But if something dies from venom and you eat it you will be okay.
I see. @Atherel@lemmy.dbzer0.com, @Melochar@lemmy.world, and @JustAPenguin@lemmy.world Thank you, you all
