What’s The Difference Between Venom And Poison?

 The terms poison and venom are often used interchangeably, but they actually have very different meanings. There is, in fact, a difference between a venomous organism and a poisonous organism—it is the delivery method that distinguishes one from the other. Venom is delivered via an anatomical structure like fangs or stinger. A great example of a venomous animal is Black mamba. Poisonous organisms, on the other hand, do not deliver their toxins directly.

The entire body, or large parts of it, may contain the poisonous substance. These organisms may be harmful when eaten or touched. Poison dart frogs and poison ivy are examples of poisonous organisms. Do you know that the Asian tiger snake is both poisonous and venomous?

Poison must be inhaled, ingested, or delivered via touch, while venom is injected into a wound. This may seem overly pedantic, but it should be noted that venom isn''t usually poisonous (meaning it generally won''t hurt you too much or at all if delivered in a different fashion than injecting, even if you swallow it
