About this mod
Alchemists are essentially the doctors and nurses of Skyrim. Now, they're protected as such.

When you think about it, Alchemists are basically the doctors and nurses of Skyrim after the restoration mages. They deserve to protected as such. If you agree, then this mod is for you!
You probably know the drill by now. Every mod in the "Essential NPCs" series is meant to be used in conjunction with Run For Your Lives and When Vampires Attack to provide an extra layer of protection, but can stand on its own. This time around, every NPC capable of buying and selling alchemy ingredients and potions that doesn't have death-by-quest-itis is flagged as essential.
As is custom, you have two options for download: an ESP version and a BAT version.
