Quotes
"A combination of twyrine infusion and some organic material. May function as a primitive antibiotic."

"Crude Sprawl, as of 2-30: 51 sick, 217 deceased, no one uninfected. Did not contract after taking "petrel formula": myself, Uprin, Rubin. Contracted after taking "quick brew": Obodn., Nurkh., Bodea  Cured with "dead gruel": Nurkh.  We call these primitive antibiotics "dead gruel". They enrich the blood with the antibodies required to fight the disease. This is not even close to a panacea, though. It will take a number of exceptionally fortunate coincidences for the dead gruel to clear the infection completely"

Description
Dead Gruel can be made with any blood or organs that the Haruspex obtains with any Twyrine Extract. However, if healthy organs or blood is used, the resulting Dead Gruel will not be able to reduce infection or affect immunity, and will only do health damage.

The effects of Dead Gruel depends on the Twyrine Extract that was used to make it. Dead Gruel will reduce infection by the same amount that a Twyrine Extract would have increased immunity, with a cap of 97%. The amount of health damage will be the same as that of the parent Twyrine Extract.
