What if I put poison on my teeth, bite someone and they die?
Unlikely. You probably will injest the poison and die, and depending on if the poison also acts as a venom they may / may not.
It’s probably more accurate to say "Venoms are injected. Poisons are injested. "

The poison from those frogs is deadly when injected. The natives use it to tip their darts and arrows.
