פירוש על עבודה זרה 55:11

Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah

R. Abahu was also a distinguished man, yet the Jacob the heretic tried to poison him. Had R. Ammi and R. Assi not licked his leg R. Abahu would have lost it. This proves that heretics (or non-Jews) will try to poison Jews.
The answer is that the woman who healed R. Yohanan was an expert, and thus would not risk her reputation by trying to harm an important man like R. Yohanan.
