Sorry all the Sasori related threads, but I rewatched the fight and I noticed something.
Chiyo should've died, and with that, Sakura would also have died, I'll explain.
As you can see, Chiyo was cut by one of Sasori's puppets, and she never took the antidote.
Sakura said there were two antidotes, she used the first one against the Iron Sand, and Chiyo used the second one on Sakura when she was stabbed.
Which means Chiyo should've been paralyzed either during the fight, or when Sasori stabbed Sakura.
If she got paralyzed during the fight, Sakura would've never been able to get Sasori and she would get raped.
If she got paralyzed when Sakura got stabbed, Sakura would die because of her situation.
If she did take the antidote to prevent her death, Sakura would die.
In that case, Sasori would probably still kill himself.
Which means that Chiyo lived even though she was poisoned, with no explanation.
Seems like a plot hole to me, or did Kishi run out of Plot no Jutsu ideas...

Reason: Replaced 'dead' by 'paralyzed'
she did die.....remeber she gave the antidote to sakura and then she held on....sasori even said it would take 3 days to kill kankuro and the sasori fight in reality probably took an hr or 2 in the naruto vers max and then you remeber chiyo didnt have enough chakra and need to borrow narutos to save gara .....that is because the posion had her weakend
not a plot hole at all

The poison actually takes three days to kill someone. The only immediate effect is the pain and paralysis. This was seen when Kankuro was poisoned. Sakura even commented on how she was amazed that Chiyo was able to move despite being poisoned.
Just leave this thread, you're only satisfying yourself.
my opinion.....she is old and has bad circulation because thing like this need to circulate in the blood that or as a puppet master she may have a tolerance for it having being posioned b4
they had the antidote and wasn't it mentioned that Chiyo was in fact poisoned when she healed Gaara? -__-

Kankuro fell down after a few minutes after being stabbed by Hiruko's tail, Sakura fell down after a few seconds after being hit by Iron Sand: World Order, so it depends on how severe the wound is, but it was definitely a bigger wound than Kankuro's so she should've fallen down in a minute.

just like how sasuke is immune to it
That would mean that she wouldn't need the antidote at all...
I'm guessing Chiyo has a certain intolerance for it, maybe because she's so used to being around poison and working with similar tools. She did show signs of her body shutting down if you remember, it probably just took longer to circulate because she was old.

no it wouldnt there is a difference between resistance and immunity and sasori poision was special it said meaning she probably wasnt immune but just had a general resistance to poision meaning it takes longer to take effect but still kill in the end

see this only helps prove my point as she did say she was done for meaning she did probably just have a resistance
Yes, but you get paralyzed within a minute. That's what I mean.
That awkward moment when you say I care and it completely blows up the arguers statement
Yeah nice catch!!! It could be that Chiyo had some natural poision resistence, but I understand how you feel being that Kankuro went out in minutes. Who knows how much will power the old lady had
