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.

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?

[–] Disgracefulone@discuss.online 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.
