Origin[]
Vicks was started by Dr. Joshua Vick in Greensboro, North Carolina and continued by his brother-in-law Lunsford Richardson. They struggled selling their products outside the local area until they decided to focus on Vapor Rub.
Effects[]
Cures all ailments when rubbed on someone but subsequently causes them to suffer from sensory overload due to the smell the extra strong batch emits.
