    Why do they not kill jaffa with the symbiote poison?

    Well In season 4 we see earth and the Tokra kill thousands of Jaffa by blowing up a son to distroy all of Apophis's ships. Then later on in the series particularly season 8 they don't want to kill thousands of Jaffa with the poison.

    My only guess would be because a lot of jaffa by season 8 have converted to fighting against the goa'uld and are spy's in the goa'uld's armies.

    It doesn't kill just the Jaffa. It also kills the Tok'ra, and they don't want to do that.

      I think it's possible too that the Tau'ri look at the Jaffa as having potential to follow in Teal'cs footsteps, so to kill them en masse with the symbiote poison might rob them of allies. Though I do understand instances in earlier seasons when they could've employed that tactic, but like hedwig said it could've also killed undercover Tok'ra and for them every loss is staggering.

        IIRC they didn't have the poison till later on, so having it in the early days wouldn't have mattered.
