We did play it as poison damage could only be healed by the antidote but if we look at how it's worded, that would be wrong. The restriction is the other way round. The Antidote potion is simply a cheaper healing potion that can only be used on damage from poison, at 300g for 2Bp. The only other buyable potion at this point is 500g for 1bp & 1MP....
It is notable that Venom Antidote and an Anti-poison Quill purposely work with separate advantages and limitations. Venom Antidote restores 2 Body Points for certain poisonings (limit) for any Hero, as the potion can be used by the owner or given to another for use on their later turn (advantage.) An Anti-poison Quill restores all damage of any Body Point poison (advantage), but it can only be used immediately by the owner (limit.) It then follows that further adding a "if used immediately" limit to Venom Antidote should cheapen the price to 200 or 250 gold coins if anyone goes that route.
