    Omg that’s really interesting, I never would have guessed! Are the effects of the venom and the poison similar at all? I kinda had the intuition that venoms were generally at least kind of edible, probably just because snake venom is lol. Is it even the same chemicals between the two effects? Sorry, my mind is just blown, haha

      Noprob, nature is weirder than we can assume.

      There are many toxins and some might produce similar effects when ingested, to those that were injected into the bloodstream. Some among these are similar to alcohol poisoning, some might probably give you a drug-like bad trip, others might be fatal. What I’m trying to say is, that there are many variables involved and the result “might vary”.

      Rule of thumb: do not eat spiders. 😉
