      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.

          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.
