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.

Yes, venom is poisonous. It is a subset of poisons that are injected via bites or stings.
