I have seen your previous question, I just haven’t found time to answer questions until very very recently. I.e., today.

And in summary – you are a scary person, and the reason this thread exists. 🙂

Yes, a bandage soaked in the poison would be an effective means of delivering it, assuming it has a non-porous exterior, so that the poisonous solution is trapped against the skin / wound and can’t evaporate into the air. This is exactly how medicated bandages work in hospitals. Poison can accumulate in your body just as any medicine or toxic substance can, and build up over time to lethal levels.

As for preventing the closure of the wound… just smearing some poo on the blade or mixing it into the bandage could cause a nasty infection in the wound that will definitely keep it from healing, and the doctors’ attention will be fixated on all the colorful discharge and rank odor coming out of the stab.

And thank you! Henry V is frankly inspirational, even if his speech may or may not be entirely Shakespeare’s imagination – the Bard knew how to write a monologue for sure.
