In the mountains and near water, there is a creature called *Shashi* (sand louse). This insect is extremely fine and invisible to the naked eye. When people enter water to bathe or draw water from a well to wash their bodies, this insect attaches itself to the skin. If bathing in red mountain streams during rainy weather, infection is more likely. The attached insects can be picked out with a needle, and the illness will be cured. (If symptoms appear as) three or two [locations] similar to those described in local folk prescriptions: subsequently, flying gu (parasitic insects) may attack, and all parasites within chickens are expelled. If not treated promptly, the condition worsens.
