I don't know how this isn't a common issue, but poison is incredibly unbalanced. In the earlier floors its manageable, since its not spammed onto you, but in Magma Core snakes are essentially a death sentence to your run, since they add so much poison to you. The worst part about poison is really the fact that there are next to no solutions to poison other than "kill the enemy fast!!!". Yes, there is that one potion that clears all of the effects you have, but it's a one time use, and if you don't get several of those or a god-like build before Magma Core, you're essentially dead. My solution to this problem would be to add items that defend you against poison. Their luck doesn't matter, they could even all be legendary, but at least that means we'd actually have solutions to poison.
