how come when they hunt with frog poison blow darts and other poisons when the people eat the monkey or other animal they don't get poisoned?

The poison needs to get into the blood stream, it's actually safe to eat and they use it to kill parasites. I've seen a guy preparing darts then liking it off his fingers. After that they went hunting and the darned things killed monkeys in a few seconds.
It's also a bit like eating that blowfish sushi, you don't get enough poison in the bit you are eating to do you any harm.

Not all hunting is done with poison darts, a lot of
Amazonian tribes use Ayawaska, and hallucinogen which just stuns the pray temporarily.

It goes directly into the blood - or that section of meat.
Or - if you eat the whole frog, that'll do it too.
Same thing goes for snake venom.
You could drink it and if you didn't have any cuts or open sores - or ulcers, the digestive system just digests it.
Monkey tastes just like humans.
