Yo woops replies to the wrong post so here's a dumb fact: Nutmeg is extremely poisonous if injected intravenously.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

memes have taught me that that means it's venomous, not poisonous.

Are you referring to this classic? If so, injecting is the equivalent of eating in this case, so the nutmeg would be poisonous, not venomous.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

injecting is the equivalent of "it bites you" because that's literally what happens. Snake fangs are needles.

I disagree. To me, "Eating/taking a bite" in this case means ingesting, consuming, inhaling, basically putting the substance into yourself.

Searching has taught me that venom is a type of poison so all venom is poison.

You think you can trust information that you've found yourself more than you can trust memes that some other person on the internet has seen?
