"There is a difference between organisms that are "venomous" and those that are "poisonous", two commonly confused terms applied to plant and animal life. Venomous refers to animals that inject venom into their prey when hunting or as a self-defense mechanism. Poisonous, on the other hand, describes plants or animals that are harmful when consumed or touched. One species of bird, the hooded pitohui, although not venomous, is poisonous, secreting a neurotoxin onto its skin and feathers. The slow loris, a primate, blurs the boundary between poisonous and venomous; it has poison-secreting patches on the inside of its elbows which it is believed to smear on its young to prevent them from being eaten. However, it will also lick these patches, giving it a venomous bite." - Shiro Emiya

Also possibly inaccurate about platypi. I've heard their venomous spurs hurt like hell.

Yeah Platypus venom isn't going to kill you but it sure as fuck isn't harmless - it's said to be excruciating, can last for days, weeks, or a month, and the unique thing is that morphine has no effect on the pain. They use it to fight during mating season but apparently the venom doesn't work on each other.
