lmao, not an english native speaker here. What would be, in english language, the difference between poisonous and venomous? Lifting aside the "pois" and the "ven".

I don't speak Spanish, but just looking at the alternative options Google Translate provides when you only input a single word, it's possible that "tóxico" might be a clearer translation of "poisonous".

Tóxico is more or less analogous to toxic in English, it sounds normal to use with something like a chemical but weird with an animal
