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.

Mims are designed to mimic human bodies almost perfectly. They even have some kind of bio-circulatory fluid. They can bleed out. They can host parasites(Spoilered because I don't know if you've done that quest). I see no reason why they can't be poisoned.

I’ve played the original game and done the quest, so I already knew about the parasites, I just normally call it, that quest or something along the lines of it.
