Part of it may be age. Strychnine used to be a much more commonly known and used toxin. He’s described as an “old” man. Perhaps an older gent without a lot of scientific background.

My first thought was that he didn’t realize there were strychnine pills in the container, which was for legitimate medication.
Strange to consume a bottle of thyroxine at the top of a mountain though.
