Quaffing a nonblessed potion of sickness will cause you to lose points off a random attribute (e.g. strength or dexterity). If you are poison resistant, the stat damage will be reduced to one point. Quaffing a blessed potion of sickness will cause you to lose 1 HP, with no other effects. Quaffing a potion of sickness of any BUC status will also shock you back to your senses if you are hallucinating.

Potions of sickness can be identified by #dipping a unicorn horn into them, which turns them into fruit juice. Zapping with a wand/spell of cancellation also converts to fruit juice.

You can also #dip darts or arrows into potions of sickness to coat the projectile weapon in poison. Unfortunately, this does not work on daggers.
