Acid Venom (Venom on  Old-gen console and 3DS) is a Hardmode debuff that prevents health regeneration and causes the afflicted NPC or player to take damage each second for the duration of the debuff. It is a stronger version of Poisoned. The damage varies by platform:

• (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) 30 damage per second when inflicted to enemies, and 15 damage per second when inflicted to players.
• (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) 6 damage per second to any entity.

(Old-gen console and 3DS versions) Enemies immune to Venom are also immune to Poisoned.
