Hello, Nate. Hey, Justine. So lately on the show, we've been exploring the theme of poison.

Yes. We've asked listeners to submit their questions on the topic. Last week, we answered a lot of them.

But there's one I'd like to get to today, which we have not discussed yet.

Hi, Outside N. This is Iva Tatatic, calling from a Mediterranean country, Croatia.

My question is, if you could please, once and for all, explain what exactly the difference

between poisonous and venomous is. Hopefully, you can do it in a way where the explanation

can be turned into a soundbite.

One to be used forever and ever when this question appears.

Thanks.

Does Eva, do you think like Eva gets this question a lot?

This must be like an issue in her life.

Yeah, absolutely.

I think when she first wrote us too, she asked the tone to be stern.

Like she wanted us to sternly explain.

And I was like, I don't know if I have that in me.

We'll see.

There is someone in Eva's life that needs a stern explanation.

Absolutely.

So to answer this one, I did get in touch with an expert in venom and snake bites.

His name is Sakhti Vyapuri.

I'm Professor Sakhti Vyyapuri.

I'm a professor in cardiovascular and venom pharmacology at the University of Reading in England.
