*Qianjin Fang* records:
If stung by a male scorpion, the pain is localized in one area; apply mud from the bottom of a well. If stung by a female scorpion, the pain radiates to various parts of the body; apply mud from under the eaves where rainwater drips.
Mud from swallow nests facing south, mixed thickly with fresh water, can be applied. Swallow droppings are also effective.
Apply ginger juice. Alternatively, apply *Polygala tenuifolia* (Kushen) juice. Alternatively, apply dental calculus (plaque) as a poultice.
Grind cinnabar (Zhusha) with water and apply. Alternatively, grind realgar (Xionghuang) and apply.
Chew *Evodiae Fructus* (Wuzhuyu) thoroughly and rub it on the affected area for immediate relief.
Another method: Apply chicken manure; the pain stops immediately. White chicken manure is particularly effective.
Another method: Passed down by Magistrate Zhang Youwen.
Take a large twisted paper lamp, soak it thickly in sesame oil, light it, and shine it on the bite site. The scorpion's toxic vapor will naturally exit and enter the soot.
Another method: Use the right thumb and middle finger to press against the ground. Dig a small amount of soil from the tip of the middle finger and apply it to the wound without letting the patient know. This is also a form of apotropaic magic.
Another method: Passed down by Gao Lushu, originating from *Shenghui Fang*, verified effective by his son.
Mix *Nifen* (calomel/mercurous chloride) with ginger juice and apply; the pain stops immediately.
Another method: Passed down by Brother Liu.
Crush centipedes (*Youyan*) thoroughly and apply as a poultice for immediate healing.
Another method: Provided by Chen Xueyu Xingzhi.
Chew *Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma* (Changpu) finely and apply to the bite site for immediate healing.
Another extremely effective method: For severe cases, no more than two spiders are needed.
Take one large spider and place it on the bitten area to absorb the toxin. Zhao Canyi, Chen Siche, and Qian Wenzio all attested to this method. Initially skeptical, they tried it personally; after being bitten, the pain stabilized immediately. Although the spider attaches slightly away from the bite, it eventually finds the bite site and bites it. The person gradually feels abdominal distension due to the attack of the toxic vapor. One must urgently immerse oneself in water, otherwise death will ensue.
Another method: Apply mulberry sap or fumigate with smoke from burning human hair.
Crush apricot kernels (Xingren) thoroughly and apply, or apply human fecal juice for superior results.
Another method: Apply wet earthworm manure found at the well mouth onto the sore, wrap it securely, and it will heal.
Another method: Remove the skin and tips of apricot kernels, grind them finely together with *Iris lactea* root (Malin). First wash the sore with green onion soup, then apply the mixture.
Grind mint juice and apply.
Vice Minister Yan Xianzhong suffered from this condition at age twenty-three or twenty-four. Following the aforementioned prescriptions, he took one dose. After a long while, he went to the toilet and passed worms for about two shichen (four hours), measuring several zhang in length. He was cured and never relapsed. This disease is often contracted from eating raw beef. The worms expelled during medication are the offspring of the adult worms; thus, if multiple episodes occur, it will not recur again. It is also said that these worms exist in pairs, suspected to be male and female.
Dig up the roots of sour pomegranate (*Punica granatum*) growing towards the south, wash them clean, finely cut half a sheng, and decoct with five sheng of water until reduced to less than half a bowl. Strain the dregs. At dawn on an empty stomach, first roast pork and eat some to guide the worms out, but do not overeat. Then take this medicine warm, as a single dose. The worms will be expelled naturally. Eat white porridge for one day to nourish the body, permanently eliminating the root cause. *Tujing Bencao* uses roots from the southeast direction; *Qianjin Fang* and Rihua Zi use roots from the east direction. Students have observed that taking it once results in immediate expulsion and cure.
Another method: *Benshi Fang* states it originates from *Liangfang*, recorded in great detail.
Tin sand (made into coarse mud; if unavailable, use lead tetroxide/Huangdan mixed with oil to form pills the size of sophora seeds) Coix seed (Yiren) Areca nut (Binglang) (equal parts, ground into powder).
Decoct pomegranate root juice thickly to half a sheng. Add three qian of the powder. Form five pills. Take at midnight; the worms will be expelled the next morning.
