Poison

Poison is a status ailment present in all 3 mother games. It causes damage each turn during combat. 
Poison can be inflicted by enemies such as snakes or the Arachnid!!!!.
Poison can usually be cured by PSI Healing.
== In EarthBound Beginnings ==
Works the same as a Cold, but can also be healed with PSI Healing α. It is caused when an enemy (Usually an insect such as the BionicCenti) uses the PoisnNeedle attack on a party member, which will stay on them even after battle. For every 8 steps the player takes, the afflicted member will take 1 HP of damage. The higher their Strength, the less likely the PoisnNeedle attack will work. It can also be cured by going to the hospital and visiting the doctor or by taking an Antidote.
== In EarthBound ==
Poison in EarthBound causes around 20 damage every turn in combat, and will occasionally cause damage while walking around outside of combat; each time this happens, the screen will blink red. It can be cured with PSI Healing β, Refreshing herb, Cup of lifenoodles, Horn of life, Vial of serum or Secret herb.
== In Mother 3 File:Poisoned.PNG==
Poison is much less painful in Mother 3; it only causes damage equal to about 5% of your total health each turn. It can be cured by an Antidote. The attack message associated is usually "enemy bites with its venomous fangs!", although it is not 100% certain to cause poisoning.
