And like you say, we don't know the exact nature of the toxin. You propose the idea that it can seemingly self-reproduce. What scorpion venom, or what venom period, can do that? I thought the purple thing was his tainted blood. It's like throwing a bit of paint into a water bucket, the rest of the water will have at least a bit of color change.

PS: We saw the area where he was wounded colored purple, and I think Qrow coughed a bit of purple too.....did we see him cough more purple afterwards in ep9? I'm tired and not thinking clearly enough to argue right now, but I would like to point out that the reason you can change the color of the water by throwing paint in is that water doesn't have color of its own. the small amount of poison which could logically have been injected would not be NEARLY enough to alter the color of his blood, or cause him to cough up purple stuff the same color as the blood... stuff from Tyrian's tail.

The fact that he is seeping more of it means that, somehow, there's more of it in his body than when he was stung.

It's an assumption, admittedly, but right now no answer for how it's happening is anything else.
