Injection, 3-128 poison definition

The only definite casualty from VX poisoning has been a member of the Aum cult who was executed by other members in 1994 when he tried to defect. He was approached in the street in Osaka and VX was sprinkled on his neck by two attackers. He chased them but quickly collapsed and then died ten days later without ever recovering consciousness. The cult also tried to kill a lawyer by injecting a VX/hair oil mixture into a keyhole, hoping that he would transfer the VX onto his skin from his key. 

It may be tempting to equate the concept of venom with poison, but to do so would be inaccurate. Many plants, for example, are poisonous but present no harm to humans because they have learned not to eat them. By contrast, one can be quite careful on a walk through the southwestern United States or Australian outback and still have an unfortunate accident involving the venom of a snake. In any given year, around 40,000 people die as a result of snakebites. To be more accurate with the definition of venom, therefore, it must be noted that venom is not just a poison, but one that is injected under the skin of the victim.
