Mutagens don't work on followers #83637
Description
Describe the bug
I gave my follower some purifier, as well as some catalyst. It didn't do anything. Checking with an autodoc, they don't get the vitamins. I tried on my character, and it worked as expected.
Attach save file
Steps to reproduce
Tell follower to use purifier or catalyst.
Use autodoc to 'conduct blood analysis'
(Or give them to yourself and use autodoc to verify that part works as expected.)
Expected behavior
I expect to be able to mutate followers in the same way the main character can be mutated.

Additional context
This seems pretty big. I've always assumed you could mutate followers, though to be fair, I tend to die right before I get around to doing that. Judging from reddit though, you definitely used to be able to give followers mutagens and have it work as expected.
