Symptoms quite clearly state they have the terminating condition that they end once the target's HP are back above the stated threshold.

Now, I know it does say "healed", but cherry picking that wording while ignoring the "loss" section at the top I think is a stretch.

You could, of course, play it by having the targets *pretend* like the damage penetrated. But imho, that creates some wonky book-keeping (especially if they then suffer *real* damage).

I wouldn't allow it, and I don't think the RAW supports it.
