Formulas for Treating Scorpion Stings.
I personally suffered from this venom; the pain in my fingers was unbearable, and all treatments proved ineffective. Someone advised me to soak my fingers and hands in cold water, which immediately relieved the pain. If the water became slightly warm, pain would return, so I would soak them in cold water again, replacing it as soon as it warmed up. I applied coarse cloth soaked in cold water to the affected area, which proved highly effective. (From *Waitai Miyao*, Vol. 40)
Another formula:
Scorpions have male and female genders. The analgesic effect of a male scorpion sting is localized to one area, whereas a female scorpion's sting causes pain that radiates throughout the body. For a male scorpion sting, apply mud from the bottom of a well to the site; replace it when it warms up. For a female scorpion sting, apply mud collected from under eaves and ditches. If it has not rained, collect new water poured from the roof and gather the mud from below to apply. (From *Waitai Miyao*, Vol. 40)
Yet another formula:
Draw a cross on the ground, take the soil from the intersection, and ingest it with water, using a dose of five fen bi. (From *Waitai Miyao*, Vol. 40)
Formulas for Treating Quwuchu Sores (a type of skin ulceration).
Burn deer horns, grind into powder, mix with vinegar, and apply to the lesion. If there is exudate, burn ashes from old rush mats by the roadside and apply them. (From *Waitai Miyao*, Vol. 40)
Another formula:
Cortex Sophorae Tomentosae (Banji, sliced), Vinegar (Ersheng).
Soak the above two ingredients for half a day. Scrape the surface of the sore and wash with this liquid five to six times daily. Finally, mix powder of Adzuki Bean with vinegar and apply to the area; replace when dry. For children, mix with water for application, which is very effective. (From *Waitai Miyao*, Vol. 40)
Yet another formula:
Chew barley and apply to the lesion three times a day. (From *Waitai Miyao*, Vol. 40)
Yet another formula:
Mix lard, soil from swallow nests, and vinegar, then apply. (From *Yixin Fang*, Vol. 17)
Formulas for Treating Ordinary Dog Bites.
Apply a mixture of vinegar and ash to the wound; this is beneficial. (From *Waitai Miyao*, Vol. 40)
Another formula:
Heat cured meat and pour it into the wound. (From *Yixin Fang*, Vol. 18)
Yet another formula:
Take hot ash powder from the stove, apply to the wound, bandage, and it will heal immediately. (From *Yixin Fang*, Vol. 18)
Place a small amount of head dirt into the wound; applying hot cow dung on top is preferable. (From *Zhouhou Beiji Fang*, Vol. 7)
Formulas for Treating Rabies Dog Bites.
First, suck out the bad blood with the mouth. Moxibustion should be applied ten zhuang directly on the wound. Remove the moxa residue the next day, then apply one zhuang daily until a total of one hundred zhuang are completed. Avoid alcohol. (From *Zhouhou Beiji Fang*, Vol. 7)
Another formula:
Scrape Tiger Tooth or Tiger Bone into powder and ingest one bi dose. For those who have already developed symptoms resembling rabies, taking this medicine will lead to recovery. (From *Zhouhou Beiji Fang*, Vol. 7)
Yet another formula:
Human Hair, Human Skin.
Burn the above two substances into powder, mix in equal parts, and drink one cup mixed with water. If the patient already exhibits red eyes and trismus (lockjaw), break the teeth open to administer the medicine. (From *Zhouhou Beiji Fang*, Vol. 7)
Formula for Cases Where Multiple Treatments Fail, Toxin Attacks the Heart Causing Restlessness, and the Patient Has Already Made Dog-like Sounds.
Burn skull bone into ash powder, mix with flowing water from the east, and ingest one cunbi dose. Stop when the condition subsides.
Generally, if bitten by a rabid dog, an attack occurs every seven days. If no attacks occur after three cycles of seven days (21 days), the danger passes. However, one must survive past one hundred days to be considered completely safe. On each seventh day, crush and drink two to three sheng of Allium fistulosum juice. Furthermore, one must abstain from eating dog meat and silkworm pupae for life; consuming these may trigger a relapse that is incurable. During the period before the wound heals, avoid raw fish, all fatty meats, and all cold foods. Even steamed raw fish served with rice or food eaten from greasy vessels can trigger the disease. Alcohol should be avoided. Recovery is optimal if one survives a year. Formula for Relapse Treatment.
Eating raw Toad meat slices is excellent. It can also be roasted and eaten. There is no need to inform the patient; doing this immediately after the bite prevents onset. (From *Waitai Miyao*, Vol. 40)
