Silver Sting is the simplest and easiest Poison to create, and one of the more useful ones. It is derived from Cazador venom, and is a potent cytotoxin. When injected, it causes a spreading feeling of weakness and considerable agitation of the wound site, causing -2 STR and causing 80 damage over 10 seconds. Its strength-debuffing properties make it valuable when facing tough, melee-focused enemies, including things like Giant Radscorpions, Deathclaws, and Super Mutants. As is the case with Mother Darkness, Silver sting is less-lethal than Bleak Venom in terms of raw damage, but remains highly useful and effective. It is the easiest Poison to create, and like all venoms, it can be applied to any unarmed or melee weapon (including thrown weapons) to allow you to envenom a target on a successful hit. Note that one dose of poison lasts for one strike or thrown projectile only.
