Orange petal nerf?

I've been playing hide and seek with a Dimetrosaur and noticed that orange petals "wear off" seconds after being eaten. They seem to still be lasting appropriate 5 minutes when you are not being poisoned.
Anyone else notice this?

Perhaps a Dimetrosaur's poison is strong enough to overcome the orange petal?

It can be, but this the first time I see it completely remove the buff. Previously you could stay poisoned despite the petal, but the buff would be there for the full 5 minutes.

U lose the buff if its high enough level of poison, low level it cures. To high and it cant.
Just right and it removes the buff after the cure.

Poison Breath is Lethal Poison. Our EM loves to use it.

It's just strange that I never experienced/noticed this effect (removal of buff). I use both orange petals and I have been using Dimetrosaurs to train pets since Eodon came out. Maybe I came across an especially uber Dime. Too bad I did not think of loring it.

Could be its poison skill was higher than you normally run into, or you were closer this time.

Both of those things affect poison strenth.

I've known the petals to completely fail every time the poison is failed against. Been that way for a long time, and they made it easier for the petals to fail 8 years ago.
