Mostly true. We know that Dunesfolk have a resistance to poison since they grow up ingesting a semi-toxic concoction (tea maybe?) for just such immunizing purposes. But ingestion and direct blood exposure are different things, so poison resistance may not have a lot to do with the topic at hand.
And thanks to Nero for helping clarify some of the ideas in my own response. And like him, I don't mean to discourage. I think we're all just having a good time with the speculation/thought experiment.
