Conditions when all damage is negated

I think raw says the ongoing damage applies but just last week I told someone that since their shield of protection absorbed the damage of a duergar beard quill the poison didn't get through. This is as case of Rule of Cool to me.

Just to throw this in, you were perhaps confusing resisting all damage with immunity. If you are immune, you do ignore all effects as well.

Unless the immunity is a damage type not named (poison), in which case, only damage is negated. Alternatively, if the immunity is a condition or keyword not named 'poison' or 'gaze', the damage won't be negated.

So the rule you're thinking of exists for immunity only.

and even then, not completely.
 

There are many substances that can poison you just by coming into contact with them. Being injured is not always required to introduce a toxin into your system.
