I'd really like to incorporate Poison as a potion, as the heroes may not necessarily know what type of potion they found so it may require some form of taste test. But I suppose it is only a potential potion at that point.
The spell scroll is specifically labeled "Treasure without Doom", thus it is implied that any negative cards are negated... and only in "Bastion of Chaos" from the original game system can a Wandering Monster card be helpful.

I agree, don't go drinking an unidentifiable liquid... you discover a yellow flask filled with an unidentifiable yellow liquide... you realize you have just drank Yeti Urine! Lol.
I suppose they could've worded it differently to imply some form of logic: "You find a flask filled with an unidentifiable liquid that you think might be a potion of healing. As you taste test the frothy liquid you gasp and realize it is poison!"
Do potions of healing have an expiration date?
