  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.

      If you consume venom and don’t have any open sores, you should be fine in most cases.

      Poison is in the fangs not the meat

        I mean… a fang can be eaten. Dogs eat all sorts of weird stuff.

        Venom is transported through the fangs just so a bunch of children don’t go eating a bunch of venom glands…

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

  Not native English speaking neither but afaik:

  poisonous: you die when you eat it

  Venomous: you die when it bites you

  source
• JustAPenguin@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  If it bites you and you die: it’s venomous If you bite it and you die: it’s poisonous

    Bears are venomous and lava is poisonous. Got it

    source

    • TheLowestStone@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      If we follow this logic, bears are both poisonous and venomous.

  I don’t speak Spanish, but just looking at the alternative options Google Translate provides when you only input a single word, it’s possible that “tóxico” might be a clearer translation of “poisonous”.

    Tóxico is more or less analogous to toxic in English, it sounds normal to use with something like a chemical but weird with an animal

  Poisons are ingested where as venoms are injected.

  If you bite (or drink, etc.) it it’s poison. If it bites (or stings, etc.) you it’s venom.

  Hace un par de días teníamos esta misma discusión aquí, básicamente «poison» es si lo tocas y mueres. «Venom» es si te muerde y mueres. En español es más simple con veneno jaja

  • captain_oni@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Español cuenta también con “Ponzoñoso” (Poisonous ) para poder diferenciar. Pero en si, sólo son sinónimos y se utilizan igual.

      Lo mismo me pasó hace unos años. En tumblr había un post donde mencionaban las diferencias entre un “raven” y un “crow”, pero ambos sabemos que la traducción directa de ambas palabras es “cuervo”

      source

      • dsilverz@thelemmy.club ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Portuguese has no different word for them as well. Both raven and crow are translated as “corvo”.

        source
      • leftzero@lemmynsfw.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Crow sería corneja, propiamente dicho… but everyone knows that a raven is just a big species of crow.

  I was told that if something dies from poison and you eat it then it is dangerous. But if something dies from venom and you eat it you will be okay.

  • GooberEar@lemmy.wtf ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Seems like it would depend on the poison.

    source
• capuccino@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I see. @Atherel@lemmy.dbzer0.com, @Melochar@lemmy.world, and @JustAPenguin@lemmy.world Thank you, you all

    Keep in mind that poisonous and venomous are only different in a scientific context. In regular conversation people use them to mean the same thing

    source
• dsilverz@thelemmy.club ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  In Portuguese we have the word “venenoso” for “poisonous” and “peçonhento” for “venomous” (i.e. something with a “peçonha”, any toxin substance produced and injected on another animal). But we often use “peçonhento” e “venenoso” interchangeably (e.g. “cobra venenosa”).
