At the end of a stage’s listed interval, you must attempt a new saving throw. On a success, you reduce the stage by 1; on a critical success, you reduce the stage by 2.
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.
Multiple exposures doesn't address what happens if a currently poisoned character succeeds at the initial saving throw to a new exposure.
Example: Say a character is currently poisoned by Leng spider venom (Stage 1). An additional fangs attack is successful and triggers another saving throw vs. the venom. The character succeeds at the initial saving throw for the second exposure. Does the character reduce the Stage by 1 (to 0) and shake off the poison entirely or do they simply not advance to Stage 2?

You only increase the stage if you fail the initial saving throw for the second exposure. Otherwise, it does nothing.
Thank you. That's what I figured.
