I learned the difference between venomous and poisonous is that if you bite it and you get sick it's poisonous, and if it bites you and you get sick it's venomous.

Pottenlicker, What's the Difference Between Venomous and Poisonous? ... According to biologists, the term venomous is applied to organisms that bite (or sting) to inject their toxins, whereas the term poisonous applies to organisms that unload toxins when you eat them. This means that very few snakes are truly poisonous.

I enjoy starting my morning learning new things. I know the platys are mammals that give birth via eggs in lieu of live birth; I never knew they were venemous.

This is not the only venomous mammal as some people have said. There are actually quite a few examples; these include some shrews, slow lorises, and vampire bats, just to name a few.

Uninitiated, it is a mammal. It is one of two egg laying mammals called monotremes

JennyB2617, they inject it out of spurs in the back legs, I doubt anyone has been injected with it as it's most likely for use to stun their food or in territory disputes...
