I didn't think much of it because I was still thinking it was just radiation, but they were trying really hard to avoid calling it that for some reason.

If they really were, themselves, poisonous, then characters like Welfin and Palm should be dying right now too. But then they threw in that "if you stay near me too long" line, so that they can basically justify the poison ONLY killing Komugi.
