Toxic Shock is a passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth.
Effects[]
- Upon entering a room, creates a green fog effect and all enemies are poisoned.
- The poison ticks 2 times.
- The poison ticks 4 times on normal enemies and 2 times on bosses.
- Killing enemies leaves a small, short-lasting pool of green creep on the ground.
- The creep deals 1 damage per tick or 30 damage per second.
Notes[]
- High tear damage will cause this item to become very powerful for rooms with a lot of enemies, since they can die instantly and render the room harmless.
- Enemies which spawn after the first few seconds of each room are not affected by this item, e.g. Flies spawned from a Mulligan dying.
- Enemies that spawn with some form of invulnerability such as Hosts, Wizoobs, or Needles are not affected by this item.
- The poison effect only activates upon entering a room and not at the start of a wave. In Boss Rush and most of Greed mode, the item will not poison enemies.
- If Toxic Shock is picked up in the middle of a room with enemies, the mass poison will occur immediately.
Synergies[]
- Second Hand: Extends the poison duration, allowing it to tick 6 times on normal enemies and 4 times on bosses.
Interactions[]
- Toxic Shock: Doesn't stack
- Red Stew: High damage stat makes Toxic Shock clear most rooms instantly, making Red Stew's damage up last almost indefinitely.
- Ace Cards: Enemies that are turned into pickups don't leave creep.
- E. Coli/Flush!: Enemies that are turned into poop don't leave creep.
- Freeze Effects: Enemies that are frozen don't leave creep.

Trivia[]
