Everyone saying poisons have to be biological or in something’s body are wrong about the real definition of ‘poison.’

A poison is simply anything that is toxic to your biology.

A venom is a biologically manufactured weapon designed for hunting prey.

It’s like how all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares: Venom is a poison, but it’s specifically poison used in direct contact attcks.
