    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.

      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.
