Apply head scurf (head dirt) to the wound, and it will heal immediately. Alternatively, crush [Gui] Cao (a herb, likely referring to *Glechoma longituba* or similar local herb in context of snakebite) and apply it; this is also effective.
The "various snakes" mentioned here do not refer to the three types mentioned earlier, but rather to species such as the red-banded snake (*Elaphe carinata*) and yellow-jawed snake. The treatment method is: immediately tie a rope about one cun above the wound to prevent the spread of venom; simultaneously, have someone suck the bitten area with their mouth, spitting out several mouthfuls of toxic blood. Once the toxin is exhausted, the pain will cease. Sucking may cause slight pain but no severe distress. Alternatively, find purple amaranth (*Amaranthus tricolor*), crush it, drink one sheng of its juice, and mix the dregs with a small amount of water to apply to the wound. Or, crush winter melon root and apply it; or chew dried ginger and apply it; or boil Wuzhuyu Tang (Evodia Decoction) and soak the wound in it. All are effective.
Cut chicken comb and apply the blood to the wound until healed. Alternatively, chew garlic, small garlic, or mulberry white bark juice and apply it. Or, soak the wound in Polygonum tinctorium juice (Indigofera juice); or use snail juice applied to the bite site.
Take Luomao Cao (Hemp Vine Herb, *Cynanchum auriculatum*) and crush it, mixing it with mud to seal the wound. Apply two to three times a day until the toxin turns into pus. Once pus flows, frequently change the dressing without stopping. Alternatively, mix Sesamum indicum oil (black sesame oil) with Hufen (lead carbonate powder) like mud and apply it. Replace when dry, and stop when healed. Another prescription uses: Zao Ye (Jujube Leaf) and Bai Ye (Cypress Leaf) (each collected on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month and dried in shade), Sheng Tie Yi (Iron Rust from boiling iron), and Wan Can Sha (Silkworm Feces) in equal parts. Grind into powder, mix with fresh Sesamum indicum oil to form a paste. First moxa the bite site, then apply the paste. For treating spider bites where silk-like threads appear all over the body, urgently use: Yang Ru (Sheep Milk) one sheng. Drink it, and recovery occurs within a few days.
Pre-collect Hibiscus mutabilis flower, Pomegranate flower, and Ai Xin (Mugwort Heart) on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Dry them in the shade, grind into equal parts powder, mix with water, and apply to the bite site for immediate healing.
Wash the wound with fresh human urine until healed. Alternatively, take snake skin, coat it with honey, heat it by roasting, and dab it on the bite site. Or, coat the snake skin with soy sauce, roast it, and apply it as a bandage. Both are effective.
Take one bowl of Da Lan Zhi (Polygonum tinctorium juice), add Xionghuang (Realgar) and Shexiang (Musk). Determine the appropriate amount, grind finely, and mix into the blue juice. Dab onto the bite site. If poisoned, drink the mixture finely; this is extremely effective. It also treats spider bites.
Huatuo's Divine Prescription for Treating Strange Diseases
If a person suddenly develops an "Echoing Worm" in the abdomen, ancient methods involved reading the Bencao (Materia Medica); when the worm does not respond to a specific herb, that herb should be used for a cure. Here is a more convenient method: use Sheng Gancao (Raw Licorice Root) and Bai Fan (Alum) in equal parts. Do not exceed two qian. Drink it down, and you will be cured.
