The benefits? Of poisons?

Derf was too busy staring blanking at the Healer to hear what some of his classmates had to say on the subject - although he had no doubt Jessa and Katherine had opinions on the subject. While his knee jerk reaction was to shout NONE, the most he sat there thinking the more he had to admit to himself that this was untrue. He couldn't tell you much about plants, but he COULD about animal venoms and such. Like...he knew something good had been made from the blood-thinning venom of the African saw-scaled viper and a substance seeeeeeeecreted by leeches...and while he couldn't quite remember WHAT it was exactly, it was something GOOD and definitely a benefit. There was also something in the saliva of Gila monsters if he recalled...but again, the fine details escaped him. Which sorta meant that he was unable to contribute to this conversation.... but hey, he WAS thinking and also doodling a picture of a viper in the margin of his potions notes. That was productive.

As to the other question, well, common and uncommon to him meant their rarity index...and he could only assume someone had already mentioned this while he was off in La La Land thinking about beneficial venoms and secretions. Thus his hand remained down for now and instead he set to finishing transcribing the rest of the ingredients on his piece of parchment.
