**Venomous Hands** is an [effect](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Effect) that causes melee attacks to give [poison](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Poison).

## Effect

When the affected attacks a mob or player through melee attacks, it will give the target the poison effect for 10 seconds. The effect level increases the poison effect level.

When used with a [fanged dagger](../../items/tools-and-weapons/fanged-dagger), the poison duration will increase to 30 seconds.

## Causes

Venomous hands are primarily caused by [custom brews](../../custom-brewing) with the initial duration of 3 minutes, with a [Venomous Fang](../../items/components/venomous-fang) [catalyst](../../custom-brewing/catalysts).
