Venomous vs Poisonous: What Is the Difference Between Venom, Poison, and Toxins?
http://futurism.com/what-is-the-difference-between-venom-poison-and-toxins/
"The quick and dirty way to separate venomous creatures from poisonous ones is by thinking about bites: If you bite it and die, it is poisonous; if it bites you and you die, it is venomous. But to break things down a bit more: To deliver their chemicals, venomous creatures bite you-they actively inject their deadly mixture into other organisms (via fangs, spines, stingers, or similar methods of delivery). For example, consider Oxyuranus microlepidotus (the inland tipan). This snake is generally believed to have the deadliest venom of any known creature. If this snake bites you, things will go downhill very quickly."
