[Bug] Possible Snakeblood (Alchemy Passive Skill) Bug?

So I maxed out my Alchemy last night, and went to make a potion of Invisibility + Speed.

I mixed Nirnroot, Namira's Rot, and Blessed Thistle together (because I didn't have anything to replace the Blessed Thistle at the time).

So I got a potion of Invisibility + Speed, but with a nasty Ravage Health trait in it. But, I figured; "I have all three points in Snakeblood allocated, I'll be fine from the Ravage Health".

I was wrong. I tried the potion, and the resulting damage almost killed my character. Snakeblood reads "Removes the negative effect in a Potion by 100%" when all three Skill points are allocated, and I thought maybe I hadn't allocated all three. So I made sure that they were all assigned as they should be (they were and are still), and tried the Potion again. Again, I got hit with the full force of the Ravage Health effect.

So, does Snakeblood not apply to potions you make yourself? Or is this the bug that I think that it is?

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_RichLambert Any ideas on this? Or will you pass it along to the bug team?

I play on Xbox One NA Megaserver

Potion was created at the Alchemy Station in Davon's Watch (Stonefalls Zone), and drank/used inside the same Alchemy building.
Time was around 2300 hours on Feb 9th, 2017
I have all possible Skill Points assigned properly in the Alchemy Crafting Skill line, and the Skill is maxed at level 50.
Recipe I used is above.

I did not think to record a video on my Xbox, so I hope it can be recreated off of my description.

    Snakeblood passive has never worked, been that way since beta in 2014.

    Ah, I see.

    I guess I've never noticed it since this is the first time I've ever done anything with Alchemy.

    Many of us alchemists learned early in the game to never put skill points into the Snakeblood passive. Probably the most useless passive in the game.

    I was under the impression that it had been fixed.

    Do you know whether Snakeblood has a beneficial affect when using either Poison solvents and/or reagents?
