Technically speaking, yes. As he lay mortally wounded by Hercules' arrow, poisoned with hydra venom, Nessus gave Deianira (Hercules' wife) his blood. He told her it was a love potion and advised her to use it on her husband if he ever proved unfaithful to her. One day, Deianira became jealous of her husband and another woman. She dipped a robe in the blood of Nessus and sent it to Hercules, thinking he would fall back in love with her. Instead, the hydra venom in Nessus' blood tortured Hercules. He was in so much pain that he built a funeral pyre and sat on it, begging everyone to light it and end his suffering. Someone eventually did, but that's another story.
