Tbh I feel like it’s a very important distinction . There are poisonous things that aren't harmful unless ingested. However something that is venomous is probably ready to attack if approached

It's kind of funny, because in other languages it doesn't use this distinction and people don't eat poisonous mushrooms because someone called them venomous by accident, or the other way around with a venomous animal.
