Potions of sickness are potions that, when drunk, make the PC become sick.
Unfortunately, they have no effect on monsters; throwing one at an enemy just yields the message "The <foo> looks somewhat green".
Desirability
Minimal. As noted, they cannot be used to inflict sickness on monsters, are not an Alchemy ingredient, and as of 1.2.0, sickness can no longer be abused to train stats. They could, however, be turned into the more useful poison via the poison hands corruption or Assassin level 6 class power, or slung at a peaceful monster to make them hostile without harming them.
Guaranteed/Common sources
They can be obtained in the same manner as all generic loot.
