Venom vs. Poison. What’s the Difference? People often mix up venomous and poisonous but they’re not the same thing! Venom is injected. Animals like snakes, scorpions, and some spiders use fangs or stingers to deliver venom into another animal, usually to catch prey or defend themselves. Poison is absorbed or eaten. Poisonous animals (like certain frogs or insects) are harmful when touched or eaten. They don’t bite or sting, you get poisoned by coming into contact with their toxins. So remember:
