I think Shen is asking if poison is used when a bot is being eaten via ties.
I believe it does. I've poisoned .tienum before and seen attacks stoped cold but I don't think I've ever tested wether it was via the returned shots or the tie itself that poisoned the other bot.
I don't think it works for Share feeding, so there is a bennefit to using it. Most of the time share feeding is a backup method, in case TF is disrupted.
Umm...PY last I checked bots can use the sharing commands with the birth tie. Most of the time this is a problem with parents share feeding, but it could probably be used positively.
