Poison Damage is a prefix that turns up on Main Hand, Off Hand and Ring. It gives Poison Damage: +3% to +4% at its lowest step, +39% to +44% at its best — and you need item level 116 before the best one can appear at all.
It comes up at weight 6 when the game rolls affixes, never doubles up with another affix that does the same job (affinity_damage), and it is what puts Tainted, Noxious, Toxic, Virulent and Pestilent in an item's name — so you might pick up a Tainted Wand.
11 Uniques lock it to a fixed number: The Slow Fang, Patient Zero, The Rot Ledger, Widow's Portion, Clutch of Eyes and Spinneret and 5 more.
