Help the immigrant!

So, question:
Insect poison or venom? And generally, what is the difference? We use the same word for both, Gift.

And if there are other words I should know about?

    insect poison is what you put down to kill them. Venom is what they release into you.

    So generally, venom is in an animal and poison would be manmade?

    Except plants can be poisonous. I think it's more the method. Venom is injected, poison is absorbed or eaten. Does that make sense?

    Venom is what is injected when an animal/insect bites something (think snake bite). Poison is something external that kills the animal/insect (ex: rat poison)

    I always remember it as if it bites you and you get sick, it's venomous.  If you bite it and you get sick, it's poisonous.
