Poison is generic. Venom is specific to normal method of delivery (e.g. snakes and bees).
Swallowing venom may or may not hurt you. Probably not a great idea, but there’s a better chance you’ll be okay.
Getting a known poison stabbed/injected intravenously seems likely to be pretty effective, but it depends on the mode of action. Blood goes everywhere in the body, so it will likely find its target eventually.
My understanding was that toxin is the generic term, poison is usually ingested and venom is delivered into the blood? But it gets often confused in everyday language, and is only accurate when talking about animals. Not a toxicologist, so I might be wildly wrong
