No. The echidna has no venom in its spines or anywhere else. Like a platypus, the male echidna has a spur on its hind leg, but unlike the male platypus, the echidna's spur is not connected to a venom gland.

Yes they do have poison in their spikes but they only use it for self defence

Echidnas are not venomous. Male echidnas have spurs on their hind feet, but unlike the other monotreme, the platypus, these spurs are not connected to a venom gland.
