Why are pigs immune to poison?
I've heard of this also. True story: Pigs aren't IMMUNE to poison. You may be thinking of snake venom. It's all about size. If the pig is bitten, the venom won't be fatal because it is sreading over a larger body mass. But, this is not to say that the pig won't be very, very, very sick.

Is it true that the honey badger has eaten so much honey that is a anti venom against snake bites?
No. The honey badger has a natural immunity to various forms of snake venom that allows it to eat snakes with minor ill effect. This immunity is present because, like mongooses, honey badgers have nicotinic acetylcholine receptors that are slightly different from those of other animals in that they disallow venom to bind to them, which prevents the venom from blocking nerve signals that are sent to the brain. This prevents the stunning effect of specific snake venom that often causes animals to die from the lack of movements necessary to sustain life, such as breathing.
