[TheForge] Blacksmith medical cure

[Justin Fellenz]

Scrubbing the heck out of poison ivy with a nailbrush and gojo never
fails for me. The nailbrush opens the pockets of oil trapped in your
skin and the gojo dissolves it so it doesn't spread, it just goes down
the drain. Dries the skin out, too, and the best part is you get the
SCRATCH.
