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".
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, 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.
Poison is in the fangs not the meat
I mean… a fang can be eaten. Dogs eat all sorts of weird stuff.
If you eat a fang and it gouges into your skin and injects venom, did you eat it or did you get bitten?
It's not the fang that's poisonous but the glands and those absolutely could be even accidentally eaten. #debunked
So the conclusion is venomous is a subset of poisonous and the movie totally watchable.
🤯
Yes.
Fair enough lol
Venom is transported through the fangs just so a bunch of children don't go eating a bunch of venom glands...
Yes, venom is poisonous. It is a subset of poisons that are injected via bites or stings.
