Yes! Vampires have venom and not poison. Venom is a toxin that is injected through the body by being bitten or by being stung. Poison is a toxin that can be inhaled, swallowed or absorbed by the skin. The toxin that is in Bella's body was injected by a vampire biting her. Ex: The venom from the jellyfish's sting was painful.
