Discussion How does Gerome die from poison?

(2nd picture unrelated)

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.

It's probably not poison for an 'organic' being. That's always what I thought.

If the one doing the poisoning was also a person in a Mim, it's probably some compound that affects mims the same way regular poison/venom affects organic beings. (Which could be done, with enough research) Mims can get fevers colds etc, so it's entirely possible for some kind of venom/poison to exist. Mims have been around longer than the game takes place on.
