Poisoning is caused by the attacks of poisonous creatures and man-made poisonous weaponry such as throwing knives, crossbow bolts, caltrops and bear traps. Version 1.1.5.0 also introduced ability to coat bladed and spiked melee weapons with poison.
Mechanics
If the attack (usually Mechanical attack) delivering poison does not penetrate armor (deals no damage), no poison will be applied. But once a poison is delivered inside an organic target, it bypasses the Bio resistance and threshold of worn armor, but not the target's innate bio damage modifier.
Irongut pills and other sources of untyped or biological damage reduction will reduce damage of poisons. Up to 3 stacks of any poison can be removed with a single dose of Antidote. It removes poisons in random order.
When a new stack of poison is applied, the duration of all stacks is refreshed. The Hypertoxicity feat doubles the damage done by poisons you apply.
