Few questions and tests to do:
1. Have you, by any chance, built your base inside/in place of a previously existed, abandoned house?
2. Is the poisoning localized? Can you find out the exact spot you're getting poisoned at, the most? Which area? Is the area moving? Does it move towards you if you wait for a bit outside it?
3. Is it limited to being inside/outside?

I have a suspicion there is an underground beehive.

i made my house out of an abandoned one but i repaired everything and its not just when im in my house i just notice it happens more often when im in/near my house. I literally got the game yesterday so idk what an underground beehive is

Literally what it sounds like, a beehive that's underground. This game does have beehives and the bees will attack you, so either there's a beehive aboveground that you're completely missing, or maybe a beehive got bugged and for some reason spawned underground.

If it's happening solely in/near your house and you're still just in the starting area (Meadows), either bees or smoke are the only thing I can think of that can seem like DoT, and it's not smoke since you said you don't have a campfire indoors and that would only damage you indoors and right above the campfire, so beehive is the only conclusion. If this is the case, you kind of don't have the tools to deal with this if it's bugged and underground, so go ahead and look around the inside of the structure and see if there's a beehive somewhere.

Also you could just move to a different area, you probably wouldn't wanna just have one single base anyway.
