It'll drain yer health down, but it won't kill ya unless the effect is taken away WHILE you're at low health.
There's a 'savor' effect that's used by some SPOs, like the bunyips. Once expelled there will be a timer of 30 - 60 seconds before you lose the rest of your health and respawn.
I don't know if it is possible in Starbound, but my idea is you lose health while digesting until you have about 1% left then it stops. It's more proof of concept at the moment.
