The same problem also occurs in PC Hack. This is a feature, and has been since, oh I dunno, version 1.01? The point of the message "biologically contaminated orange juice" is that it isn't really poison--it's more on the order of tainted food. Biological disease, rather than chemical poison. That's why it's called a potion of "sickness". -- Felix Lee flee@gondor.psu.edu {cbosgd,cmcl2}!psuvax1!gondor!flee What's bred in the bone will not out of the flesh. -- English Proverb
