The last time I used Vick's salve was back in the mid 60's. Three of us had fished all night and finally went to the bank at Lake Martin and built a fire. The ground was damp and I lay down because I was bushed. The next day I felt like I had the flu but I've never had the flu so I can't be certain.

That night I felt awful. Got my wife (first one) to rub my chest and back with Vick's salve before going to bed. During the night I had to get up and change my T-shirt because the first one was sopping wet with sweat. Next morning I felt as well as I ever had in my life. Not another symptom.
