Poison gods or goddesses

Hello all. I have had a weird obsession with poisons. Alkaloid research is amazing to me. I was wondering if there were any gods or goddess related to poison? I know of achlys the greek goddesses. Any idea of gods or goddesses related to poison? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would prefer roman or greek but any will do.

Many healers know poisons. Maybe ask healer gods for names of poison gods.

Marbas is a good demon to check out, Apollo for Gods and possibly Hermes as well as Brigid.

I understand Apollo but why hermes and Brigid? If you don’t mind me asking of course.

Because Hermes heals as sometimes he’s seen as a god of medicine just as Brigid does too.

Chiron may also be of help.

Very interesting. I will look into this being.

He was poisoned by an arrow dipped in hydra blood, but because he was immortal, he could not die.

Would he be open to helping me with my poison and alchemy? He may hate poison due to what has happened. I’m afraid healers may not help me due to my research.

All you can do is ask.
