I entered water mine on multiplayer and was mining just fine with a friend when I was attacked by a Sphekter and the damage did not stop even when out of attacking range, even after killing the enemy.
This happens every single time I was attacked by that specific enemy. The other enemies did not cause this problem. The damage, after being attacked once, lasts for about 15-20 seconds; of repeated attacks.

Hey Apple Crisp, Look at the top left corner of your screen. You got hit with a poison dot (damage over time) it stops when the skull goes away. I haven't seen that in the game for a few months now, but that was common in previous versions.
