 This is an excellent amulet to discover early in the game, if you can identify it. It's quite common, and for this reason, you should wear uncursed amulets in the hope that a randomly found one might be versus poison.
-If you know you have poison resistance through wearing this amulet, you can then eat poisonous corpses until you gain the resistance as an [[intrinsic]]. There is a specific message, ''"You feel especially healthy."'' to indicate you received the intrinsic while currently protected by the extrinsic granted by the amulet. This is useful to look out for as you can then dump this amulet in favour of other, more useful ones. If you play at night, however, try to hang on to the amulet in case a [[gremlin]] steals the intrinsic away.
