Formula for treating accidentally swallowed needles.
Take Jing Xi Ci Shi Mo (fine powder of magnetic stone/magnetite known for attracting iron), take one "Fang Cun Bi" with warm water.

If the magnetic stone is held in the mouth, it might attract the needle out. These two theories should be carefully considered to understand their rationale.
