Commentary states: When "Eci" (a condition of acute swelling, pain, and ulceration caused by venomous gas from snakes or scorpions) first occurs, it is often contracted while passing through areas with grass, trees, water, or marshes, where one is exposed to the toxic vapors of snakes and vipers. The patient suddenly feels as if pricked by a needle, quickly leading to redness, swelling, and pain, with muscle tissue becoming ulcerated. If this occurs on the hands or feet, it often results in the necrosis and separation of finger or toe joints. Local people, having extensive experience, apply moxibustion for several moxa cones immediately upon feeling the sting; eight out of ten cases are cured this way. For those not cured by moxibustion, medicinal paste should be applied promptly.
