Wouldn’t a poison arrow/spear kill both the “eatee” as well as the “eater”?

The Bushmen of South West Africa found a poison made from a grub worm. It is so deadly but slow acting that when they poison an arrow they put a few drops behind the arrowhead on the shaft.

I should mention that cooking the meat destroys the poison.
