If I use the same poison on a single target twice, do the effects stack?
For example I hit someone twice with a poison that does 1 damage per second for 10 seconds
, what are the results:
2 damage per second for 10 seconds
1 damage per second for 20 seconds
2 damage per second for 20 seconds
- The timer resets back to 10 seconds on the last hit
- The second poison is ignored
This also leads to the question that if I use the Concentrated Poison
perk in the Alchemy
skill tree, are the effects the same as if I used two of the same poison in a row?

Lingering damage health does indeed stack. I tested this by giving multiple lingering poisons to an NPC via the poisoner perk. Her health went down noticeably faster when I gave her multiple doses. I do not know how the duration is affected as she died before the poison ran out. I will report back later after I have found a suitably healthy target.
After some testing, here is what I found out:
This is correct.
