As a non native English speaker, where does toxic fit into the poisonous/venevenomous question?
Typically used to describe chemicals, or your ex girlfriend
Do you know his ex too?
/c/SuicideByWords ?
The lemmy equivalent seems to be !selfburns@lemmy.zip

Sounds like poisons are injested, and toxins are poisons that are produced within the body through reactions. And venom is just poison that's only harmful in the bloodstream.
As a native English speaker, uuuuhhhhhhh
Toxic can be used to refer to something that will slowly damage the body in some way.
e.g. tobacco smoke, which doesn't kill you right away, but slowly turns you into a zombie, by destroying your mental ability and cause faster ageing.
Another, is Lead (Pb), which lead to the destruction of the Roman empire.
