If you kill a snake and decide to chew on the venom glands, would they be considered poisonous or venomous?

With the sucking venom out of a bite memes they always warned that you needed good mouth health as the venom getting into your blood through a cut or sore would be dangerous, suggesting that venom could be safely ingested

It’s also very good at absorbing things directly into our blood streams. I think sucking on venom is a good way to poison yourself.

Except the truth is that no, almost every venom is safe to ingest. Provided you don’t have any cuts in your mouth or throat.
Snakes are not immune to their own venom. They don’t need to be, because their stomach acid can break it down.
As can ours.

We have proteins in our diets that our body could use intact, however our digestion breaks those down and we absorb the amino acids and rebuild the needed proteins.
No protein survives digestion. It’s really quite surprising that some prions do survive and fuck us up
