Excessive consumption of peaches causes internal heat; at this time, one must not bathe in water, otherwise it induces alternating chills and fever with dribbling symptoms.
Unripe apricot paste harms the body.
Excessive consumption of plums damages the teeth.
Plums should not be eaten in excess, as they cause abdominal distension.
Lin Qin (a type of fruit) should not be eaten in excess, as it weakens the meridians throughout the body.
Excessive consumption of tangerines and pomelos leads to loss of taste sensation, rendering one unable to discern the five flavors.
Pears should not be eaten in excess, as they damage the spleen and stomach with cold. They are also unsuitable for patients with traumatic injuries or postpartum women.
Excessive consumption of cherries and apricots damages the sinews and bones.
Pomegranates should not be eaten in excess, as they damage the lungs. (Another version states "damages the abdomen".)

Treatment for poisoning from consuming various fruits:
Porcine Bone (calcined)
Grind the above single herb into powder, and administer orally with water using a measure of one cun bi. This also treats poisoning from horse liver and spoiled meat.
Wood ear mushrooms that are red or grow upwards should not be eaten.
Mushrooms that curl upwards and are red should not be eaten.
For poisoning from consuming various mushrooms, presenting with chest oppression, confusion, and a desire to die, the treatment is as follows:
Drink one sheng of human fecal juice.
Drink two sheng of soil slurry.
Drink decoction made from soybeans.
Administering various emetic and purgative drugs can also resolve the toxicity.
For uncontrollable laughter caused by consuming maple tree mushrooms, use the aforementioned formula. For accidental ingestion of wild taro, presenting with confusion and a desire to die, use the aforementioned formula.
Shu pepper (Sichuan peppercorn) with closed pores contains poison. Accidental ingestion causes a sensation like being pierced by a halberd in the throat, qi stagnation approaching death, or vomiting and purging white foam, along with numbness and coldness of the body. The emergency treatment is as follows:
Decoct cinnamon twig and drink the juice. Drink one to two sheng of cold water. Alternatively, consume garlic, soil slurry, or thick decoction of fermented soybeans (Douchi), all of which resolve the toxicity.
In the first lunar month, do not eat raw green onions, as they induce wandering wind on the face. In the second month, do not eat smartweed, as it damages the kidneys. In the third month, do not eat small garlic, as it damages mental will.
In the fourth and eighth months, do not eat coriander, as it damages the spirit. In the fifth month, do not eat leeks, as they deplete qi and strength. On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, do not eat any raw vegetables, as they trigger myriad diseases. In the sixth and seventh months, do not eat cornel, as it damages the spirit and qi. In the eighth and ninth months, do not eat ginger, as it damages the spirit. In the tenth month, do not eat Sichuan peppercorn, as it injures the heart and damages the heart vessels. In the eleventh and twelfth months, do not eat shallots, as they increase nasal discharge and saliva. Throughout the four seasons, do not eat raw okra, as it impairs digestion and triggers myriad diseases. This applies not only to food but also to medicinal herbs; deep caution is required.
When recovering from seasonal diseases and health is not yet restored, eating raw vegetables will cause swelling of the hands and feet. Eating raw vegetables at night is detrimental to health. In the tenth month, do not eat raw vegetables exposed to frost, as they cause dull complexion, dry eyes, heart pain, and lower back pain, or may trigger heart malaria. During malaria attacks, the nails of all ten fingers on hands and feet turn blue, accompanied by exhaustion and lethargy. Sprouts of green onions and leeks, if consumed, damage heart qi. Drinking white wine and eating raw leeks exacerbates illness. Raw green onions must not be eaten with honey, as this is fatal. Single-clove garlic is even more taboo. Dates eaten with raw green onions cause disease. Raw green onions eaten with male rooster or white dog meat cause bleeding from the seven orifices for a year. Consuming sugar and honey, followed by raw green onions and leeks within four days, causes heart pain. Eating various gingers, green onions, and garlics at night damages the heart. Excessive consumption of turnip roots causes qi distension. Shallots must not be cooked with beef to make soup, as this forms mass disorders. Leeks behave similarly. Excessive consumption triggers hemorrhoids. Wild lettuce must not be eaten with honey, as it forms internal hemorrhoids. White lettuce must not be eaten with cheese, as it induces parasitic worms. Excessive consumption of cucumbers induces febrile diseases. The heart of okra should not be eaten as it harms the body; its leaves are particularly cold.

Concentrated decoction of fermented soybeans (Douchi) to drink.
Gelsemium (Gou Wen) resembles celery; accidental ingestion is fatal. Antidote formula:
Shepherd's Purse (Qi) (8 liang)
Take the above single herb, add six sheng of water, decoct to obtain two sheng, and divide into warm doses for administration.
Water hemlock (Shui Rang Dang) exists among vegetables; its leaves are round and glossy, and it is toxic. Accidental ingestion causes madness resembling stroke or hematemesis. Treatment:
Decoct licorice root (Gan Cao) and drink the juice to resolve toxicity.
In spring and autumn, dragons deposit essence into celery; accidental human consumption causes disease. Symptoms include cyanosis of hands, abdominal fullness, and unbearable pain, named Dragon-Jiao disease. Treatment:
Hard candy (2-3 sheng)
Administer the above single herb twice daily. Recovery occurs upon vomiting out three to five lizard-like entities.
Antidote for poisoning from bitter calabash (Ku Pao):

Flour from legumes and wheat, if consumed in excess, causes hair loss.
Excessive salt intake damages the lungs. Cold foods injure the teeth.
When consuming hot foods, do not drink cold water. Alcohol consumption combined with raw Xanthium sibiricum causes heart pain.
In summer, after heavy intoxication with sweating, one must not wash with cold water or fan oneself, lest illness ensue.
Heavy alcohol consumption strongly contraindicates moxibustion on the abdomen and back, as it causes intestinal obstruction.
Do not overeat immediately after drunkenness, as it induces chills and fever. Alcohol consumption combined with pork, sleeping on sorghum or rice straw, induces jaundice. Excessive maltose consumption makes alcohol highly dangerous.
Any water or wine reflecting moving human shadows must not be drunk. Vinegar combined with cheese causes blood masses.
When eating white rice porridge, avoid raw Xanthium sibiricum, lest walking miasma form. After eating sweet porridge, ingesting salt induces vomiting. Stirring food and drink with unicorn horn tendon; if foam appears or the ground rises where poured, consumption is fatal.
Formula for food poisoning presenting with烦满 (distress and fullness):
Sophora flavescens root (Ku Shen) (3 liang)
Vinegar (Ku Jiu) (1.5 sheng)
Decoct the above two ingredients for three boils, lifting and lowering the mixture three times. Administration induces vomiting of food, leading to recovery. Boiling with water is also acceptable. Rhinoceros horn decoction is also effective.
Formula for gluttony, indigestion, and hard, full, painful abdomen:
Salt (1 sheng)
Water (2 sheng)
Decoct the above two ingredients until the salt dissolves. Divide into three doses. Recovery occurs upon vomiting food.
Raw alum entering the abdomen ruptures the heart and liver; water intake is also prohibited. Verbasum officinale (Shang Lu) taken with water is fatal. Lepidium seed (Ting Li Zi) applied to head sores allows medicinal qi to enter the brain, causing death. Mercury entering human ears or livestock causes death; placing gold or silver near the ear draws out the mercury. Chinaberry (Ku Lian) without seeds is fatal.
Generally, various toxins often mimic toxicity to damage primordial qi. Knowing the appropriate time, decocting licorice root and shepherd's purse juice can serve as a general antidote for various poisons.
