Should Twitch be given some jungle viability, or would that be toxic?

Even though Twitch is given the option to jungle, he's too inefficient at it to ever get going. You pick him for the role, it's automatically a 9v1 game, with your teammates trying to kill you as much as the enemy team.

To get Twitch out of this, how about making Deadly Venom deal more damage to monsters? There, he's now able to do something other than just bot lane.

Twitch used to be able to jungle a long time ago. I wouldn't really be opposed to it honestly. He can have super strong ganks with the trade off of having a weak clear.

Also, I find it more interesting getting adcs out of bot lane. Would be cool to have different styles match ups down there.

Twitch's passive is already... TOXIC! (I couldn't help myself)

The core problem with Twitch jungl isn't even his clear, or the fact that if you get invaded by anything more aggressive than a Janna, you're gonna die; it's that as a hypercarry ADC, he needs a huge amount of gold to be useful, and the jungle just doesn't offer that kind of cash. Unlike bruiser/bully ADCs like Graves or Quinn, who can lean on their base values to remain relevant even with the lower gold income, Twitch is entirely dependent on his autoattacks.

Even if he was somehow changed to be less-gold reliant (increased values on E, better damage to minions and monsters from passive, higher AD from ult), he would have to have a lot of power removed from his Q in order to not be strictly better than Evelynn, at which point lane Twitch is essentially an immobile version of Kalista.

tl;dr Twitch could be made into a jungler, but doing so would require such a drastic reallocation of his strengths that he wouldn't really be Twitch anymore.

Technically since his kit is focused around poison it would totally be toxic XD lol
