Those are two separate things.
The verb form of poison encompasses the latter. From Merriam-Webster:
1 a : to injure or kill with poison;
b : to treat, taint, or impregnate with or as if with poison
Curiously, M-W defines envenom as:
1 : to make poisonous
The freedictionary.com defines envenom as:
- to fill or impregnate with venom; make poisonous

The fairly archaic word venenate might fit the bill:
venenation noun
ven·e·na·tion | ˌven-ə-ˈnā-shən
Medical Definition of venenation
: the condition or process of being poisoned especially by a venom of animal origin
Other Words from venenation
venenate ˈven-ə-ˌnāt verb venenated; venenating
The ngram chart for "antivenom" only recently passed up "antivenin." I was always taught antivenin, so venenate made perfect sense to me, but it's definitely on its way out!
