What is the difference between venom and poison?
484479
Venom is actively injected, while poison must be eaten or absorbed. So snakes and spiders have venom, because they typically use fangs to inject it into their victims. Some frogs, however, have poison, because one must touch their skin to absorb it.

Of course! Venom can be used to make vaccine! This can be useful for those people have high risk of contacting snake bite.\n\nAlso, blood pressure lowering drug, Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitor was developed based on the observation of blood pressure dropping effect after being bitten by snake.As a result, an analogue molecule was developed rationally

The tarantula everytime. The emporer scorpions sting is very mild, about as potent as a bee sting!! Plus the bird eating tarantula full grown is much much larger than an emporer scorpin full grown. Now if they were the same size it will prob be the tarantula....it's venom is much more powerful.

The vast majority of spiders have a venom so weak it is completely and totally harmless to human beings. It is venom designed for killing only other bugs about their own size and nothing larger in most cases. In the United States the spiders you generally worry about are the brown recluse spider and the black widow spider. In Australia you would be worried about Sydney Funnelweb Spider. If it was not black and did not have an hourglass red symbol on its back I would not be too worried.\n\nAs was previously suggested don't touch it, just remove the sheets at the corners for washing and change to a fresh set of linens. The blood of spiders is not poisonous. Just the venom is very small venom glands which is not a contact poison but a venom that must be injected into the bloodstream to have any effect, generally through the fangs.

The poison needs to get into the blood stream, it's actually safe to eat and they use it to kill parasites. I've seen a guy preparing darts then liking it off his fingers. After that they went hunting and the darned things killed monkeys in a few seconds.\n\nIt's also a bit like eating that blowfish sushi, you don't get enough poison in the bit you are eating to do you any harm.

1) Fierce Snake or Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus ), Australia. The most toxic venom of any snake. Maximum yield recorded (for one bite) is 110mg. That would porbably be enough to kill over 100 people or 250,000 mice. These rare snakes are vitually unknown in collections outside of Australia.\n2) Australian Brown Snake (Pseudonaja textilis ), Australia. One 1/14,000 of an ounce of this vemon is enough to kill a person. \n3) Malayan Krait (Bungarus candidus ), Southeast Asia and Indonesia. 50% of the bites from this snake are fatal even with the use of antivenin treatment. \n4) Taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus ), Australia. The venom delivered in a single Taipan bite is enough to kill up to 12,000 guinea pigs. \n5) Tiger Snake (Notechis scutatus ), Australia. \n6) Beaked Sea Snake (Enhydrina schistosa ), South Asian waters Arabian Sea to Coral Sea..\n7) Saw Scaled Viper (Echis carinatus ), Middle East Asia.\n8) Coral Snake (Micrurus fulvius ), North America.\n9) Boomslang (Dispholidus typus ), Africa. \n10) Death Adder (Acanthopis antarcticus ), Australia and New Guinea. \n11) Black Mamba, both species of Green Mambas, and the Mojave Rattlesnake.\n\nHope that helps you!

If you are talking about poison from insects, or snakes, it could be something like breathing problems, swelling that is occuring rapidly, paralysis, disorientation, dizzyness, blurred vision,etc.

Evil Twin is right.  The bee's sting has a barb and it stays in you until taken out with a tweezers or such.  The venom sack stays connected to it and you can actually see it pulsating, pumping further venom into you.  For a bee to sting it has to be a last resort for as Evil said, it will die.  The wasp on the other hand has no barb and can and will continue to sting you for no apparent reason especially in Autumn when fallen fruit begins to ferment.  They actually get drunk on it and seem to sting for no reason.

venom is way craftier than the bture rhino. the suit would cover rhino and drain his energy. of course venom has had enough experience with spiderman and carnage to know how to defeat someone as dumb as rhino.

There are different kinds of poisonous snakes so they must analyze samples of different kinds of snake venom to make the antidotes for them.

No, the tail is not poisonious. The head isn't poisonious either, it's venomous, but that's just a technical detail (venom is injected with fangs, stinger, etc, poison isn't). But centipedes have two fangs on the bottom of the head. They can inflict quite a bit, especially the larger species. There could be some reason for people to think the tail is venomous though, there are two long "tails" at the end that look quite bad, but aren't. The tail also looks like it has antenna, so it can be confused with the tail. Also, anyone foolish enough to pick a centipede up by the tail is very likely to get bitten anyways. Centipedes are very fast and can bend backwards on themselves. But it is not the tail that is venomous.

Are you referring to the shock of say, a bee sting?  An anaphylactic shock occurs when the person afflicted has a very specific allergy to what they've been exposed to.  Poison ivy is one of those things that most people have a mild allergy to and it's dematological in nature . . . so it affects mainly your skin and the areas directly affected.  \n\nEven an anaphylactic shock can take up to 4 hours to set in.

Snake venom is produced by parotid gland.It is neurotoxic and hemotoxic.Sometimes when snakes are compelled to underdog fasting, then in starving condition they commit suicide by biting their own body.This goes to show that they are susceptible to their own venom.The venom has to go the blood stream to produce the effect.

theres a perfume called poison. It was popular in the 80s I think... Other than that I think that poison is just a title given to liquids that have harmful side-effects if they're ingested.
