If the pungi sticks are coated in Excreta it poisons the blood and if the person doesn't die he generally ends up minus a leg or foot. Charming! Kenneth Eames.

This rudimentary poisioning was useful as a long term psychological threat / area denial activity and also to tie up a regular armies infrastructure in caring for the injured. In the case of prepper retreat defence, it would be of no real value, as by the time the bacteria poisioned the wounded attacker, any immediate action would be over. The punji sticks themselves would be of some use, especially a high defensive concentration in certain predetermined avenues of approach. Other simpler methods are just to have the concealed holes to act as "anklebreakers". These are even quicker to arrange & are especially effective at night to disrupt covert enemy movement.
