Actually a lot of venom is perfectly edible so long as you don't have a stomach ulcer or cut in your mouth or something.

This is also true. Poisonous doesn't specifically mean "dangerous when eaten" when talking about the substance. It is an insanely broad category. It basically just means the substance is harmful.
