Treatment for poisoning by the "She Gong" (a mythical aquatic creature or insect causing specific sores), there are three types of sores. One type presents with sores black as beans, surrounded by reddened skin; contact with clothing may cause stinging pain. Another type forms ulcers that eventually break open, accompanied by chills and fever in the late afternoon. The third type resembles burns with blisters; this is the most urgent, potentially fatal within days, causing chills and fever.
