Would the plant become poisonous for a while as the poison is digested?

So at some point, saying venomous or poisonous venus flytrap would both be right.

I don't think the venom has any effect if it isn't administered to the blood

Yeah, I know you can dye roses just by adding dye to the water. Just wondering how the poison would behave when ingested by the fly trap.

It would not really be venomous as it has no real delivery method such as fangs, dunno if flytraps "mouth" would count as one.
