Don't get twisted about being corrected, i'm just letting you know the difference. Snakes are not poisonous, they are venomous. Same thing? No, not at all. Venom has to absorbed into the blood stream, poison has to be ingested. If venom is ingested, it's harmless, absorbed into the bloodstream via injection, it is toxic.
Everybody knows what you mean, but people in the know on the topic get sand in their shorts when the two terms are used interchangeably. It's like when someone here says "clip" when referring to a magazine.
