I have had an idea in my head (perhaps left over from PF1) that once you beat a poison or disease effect you don't need to make a further checks against it on repeated exposure.
Concretely, this means I interpreted that if a PC succeeds on the fortitude save against Jungle Drake Venom, they do not need to make fortitude saves against it again, even if they are exposed to it by being hit by the stinger or venomous spit.
But looking at the RAW I find only
Multiple exposures to the same curse or disease currently affecting you have no effect. For a poison, however, failing the initial saving throw against a new exposure increases the stage by 1 (or by 2 if you critically fail) without affecting the maximum duration. This is true even if you’re within the poison’s onset period, though it doesn’t change the onset length.
And nothing in the Jungle Drake Venom text stating immunity is conferred by success.
Am I missing some text somewhere else or did I rule this incorrectly?
For poison you have to keep rolling saves. Each save you miss of the same type of poison regardless of the source increases the stage up to it's maximum. Poison can be quite nasty in PF2.

Sorry for applying my necromancy to this thread, but I was curious about others' take on another "multiple exposure" of poisons.
For example:
If a creature walks into a poisonous cloud and fails the save starting the clock on the poison's activities [either the Onset and/or entering Stage 1 of the effect].
What are your opinions if the creature does not immediately move out of the poisonous cloud either by design or inability to do so and as a result is still inside the cloud at the beginning of its next turn? Does this in your collective opinion count as a multiple exposure by remaining in the cloud for another round?
Thank you all for your time.

Yes, anything that normally triggers an exposure will trigger an exposure again.
