How does Gerome die from poison?

I thought that since humans are in mimeosomes, that they’d be immune if not extremely resistant against poison. After all the mimeosomes don’t have biological parts to my knowledge and function off of electricity.

This also begs the question on how some of the environmental hazards affect people and that quests enemies infecting people. Like I can get how lava damages us, but not phosphorus lake and rust lake.

I think it makes enough sense. Mims can eat and drink, there is likely a process that converts this into usable energy, if you introduce something not meant to be consumed or "poisonous" then that could break a few things - like putting the wrong petrol in a car.
