If a patient with Ding poison (Ding carbuncle toxin) consumes pork leading to Zouhuang (a critical syndrome where toxin sinks inward), the condition is considered incurable.
Urgently crush fresh Banana Root (Musa basjoo Rhizoma) to extract juice and drink it. (Pork is contraindicated when developing Ding carbuncles.)

If a Ding carbuncle arises on the middle or lower part of the lip and is not treated urgently, death will ensue.
Frequently drip Chicken Comb Blood into the lesion, or crush one Spider and apply it topically.
