      If you bite something and you feel funny, it’s poison. If something bites you and you feel funny, it’s venom. They are both biological toxins but the method of transferring that toxin to the target is the big difference. A mushroom growing could be poisonous as you could eat that, its not going to attack you. A snake on the other hand will attack you to inject its venom 🐍
