THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VENOMOUS AND POISONOUS,

Venomous: when the toxin is injected

Poisonous: when the toxin is inhaled or consumed, I also think it could be soaked up through your skin, if it could that would be poisonous

I DON'T KNOW IF SLOW LORISES ARE POISONOUS OR VENOMOUS,

they have a fluid that may or may not be a toxin, I'm assuming they are because you aren't asking if they're poisonous. I've been trying to find out for ages and this is all the info I've gotten:

Because of their bronchial glans in their elbows (near their elbows, on the side of their arm but I think I still counts as their elbows)

I read this thing and it said that either they lick their elbows (O_O) or they rub the fluid from the bronchial gland onto their face. If they get the fluid on their teeth then they are venomous, if they get the fluid in someone's mouth or if it evaporates easy and then it is inhaled than

they would be poisonous, if they do use the fluid to harm other animals.

the venom works as an insect repelent to keep the fur free of parisites, also it repels predetors with its smell, alerting animals that it is poisonus. ( by Ruby)
