No. Platypuses do not have a poisonous bite or bill, and it is incorrect to use the term "poisonous", as this refers to a substance usually ingested, rather than delivered by a bite or other means.

Adult male platypuses have venomous spurs on their ankles, through which they can deliver a poison strong enough to kill a small dog, and to cause almost paralysing agony to an adult human.
