Poison lore is a skill used in conjunction with the brew poison skill. Brew poison may be used without poison lore - but poison lore is nearly useless if you don't know how to brew any poisons.

Poison lore is used automatically when you attempt to brew any poison. As you become more learned in the art of poison brewing, you will be able to identify the poison type that you are brewing and possibly how reliably the poison can be brewed.

Poison lore is also automatically used when you try to eat or drink things that may be poisoned. It will not reliably tell you if something is poisoned, but can occasionally save you some trouble.
