It was the man who died. The cause of death is still being investigated, but he was 89 years old.

This is a good time to remember:

If it bites you and you die; venomous
If you bite it and you die; poisonous

If it bites you and you both die, rabies

To match the "venomous" and "poisonous" words, you can also say "contagious".

What about pufferfish? If i bit a fugu in half the wrong way, we'd totally both die.

And if it bites you, and it dies, you are poisonous.

Yeah, but this is: If it bites you and it dies, you're poisonous?

[–] remon@ani.social 28 points 3 weeks ago

That is identical to the 2nd case.

I'm therefore technically poisonous to pretty much everything that bites me without permission. Hunh. 🤷🏽‍♂️
