The problem may be this. Snakes and the evolution of snakes.

There are snakes that are harmless, mildly deleterious, and snakes that can be fatal.

In order to teach, science pigeonholes information. that is, sections it off and separates it in order to understand it. In reality, there is no such separation.

Ther'e levels that are clear, teeth, enlarged teeth, grooved teeth and hollow fangs. There are levels of toxicity. From apparently harmless saliva to pure harmful venom. When they teach you this, they must make them separate them so you can learn. The problem is they rarely come back and tell you, that there actually is no real separation, once you understand the basics.

Harmless saliva can and does contain, elements of dangerous saliva, harmless and dangerous salvia also contains elements/chemicals that are present in dangerous venom.

All saliva presents problems when and how it enters the bloodstream.

You recently moved your lines of separation with hogs, as you became educated. Which is great, but, in my mind, your original lines were in error. No snake saliva is harmless. All can be deleterious in the right amounts under the right conditions.
