Many poisons make great medicine in smaller doses. Think about it, if for example some poison/venom is able to slow your heart to a stop, it can save your life in a smaller dose if your problem is that your heart rate is rising out of control
This is how we got invasive Burmese pythons spreading up the East Coast. The people keeping them as exotic pets absolutely swore they'd take care of them and they wouldn't escape and breed, then a hurricane came through and they didn't evacuate their pets and now we have fucking pythons slowly making their way north, devastating the local wildlife.

Yeah that makes sense. I think we do a similar thing here in Australia. I know we breed Sydney funnel web spiders.
Booze.
Does this mean I’m going to have to pay more for my snake wine?
Yeah, but have you considered switching to 3 penis wine?
