《南唐书》云∶南唐相冯延巳苦胸中痛,累日不减,迎太医令吴廷绍。密诘厨人曰∶
相公平日食何等对象?对曰∶多食山鸡鹧鸪。廷绍曰∶吾得之矣。投以甘草汤而愈。盖
山鸡鹧鸠者,皆食鸟头、半夏,故以此解之。
《名医录》载∶浙人王夫人忽日面上生黑斑数点,日久满面俱黑,遍求医士不效。忽
遇一医,云∶夫人中食毒尔,某治之一月平复。后觉其方止用生姜一片切碎研汁,将滓焙
干却用姜汁煮糊丸。问其故,云∶夫人日食斑鸠,盖此物尝食半夏苗,是以中其毒,故用
生姜以解之。
《清溪暇笔》云∶姑苏一人出商在外,其妻畜鸡数只,以候其归,凡数年而返,
一日杀而食之,殆尽,抵夜其夫死。邻家疑其有外奸,首之官。妇人不禁考校,遂自
诬。太守姚公疑之,乃以情问妇,妇以食鸡对。太守觅老鸡数十,令死囚遍食之,果
杀二人,狱遂白。盖鸡食蜈蚣,久而蓄毒,故养生家不食老鸡。
饮酒中毒者,经日不醒是也,今人谓之中酒。
黑豆一升煮取汁温服一盏,不过三盏则愈。
《南唐书》记载:南唐宰相冯延巳深受胸中疼痛之苦,多日未减,于是迎请太医令吴廷绍诊治。他秘密询问厨师道:“相公平常都吃些什么?”厨师回答说:“多吃山鸡和鹧鸪。”吴廷绍说:“我明白病因了。”随即投用甘草汤治疗,患者痊愈。这是因为山鸡和鹧鸪都食用乌头、半夏,所以用甘草来解除其毒性。
《名医录》记载:浙江人王夫人忽然脸上长出几块黑斑,日子久了满脸皆黑,遍寻医生治疗均无效。忽然遇到一位医生,说:“夫人是中了食物毒罢了,我治疗一个月即可康复。”后来发现他的药方仅用生姜一片切碎研取汁液,将姜渣焙干后,再用姜汁煮糊制成丸剂。有人问其中的缘故,医生说:“夫人日常食用斑鸠,因为这种鸟曾吃过半夏的幼苗,所以中了它的毒,因此用生姜来解毒。”
《清溪暇笔》记载:姑苏有一人外出经商,他的妻子养了几只鸡,等待他回来。过了几年那人返回,一天杀了鸡吃,几乎吃光,到了夜晚丈夫就死了。邻居怀疑他有外遇奸情,向官府告发。妇人经受不住拷打审讯,于是自认有罪。太守姚公对此产生怀疑,便私下询问妇人实情,妇人以吃鸡作答。太守寻找老鸡几十只,让死囚犯全部吃下,果然导致两人死亡,案件才得以昭雪。这是因为鸡吃了蜈蚣,毒素在体内积聚日久,所以养生家不吃老鸡。
饮酒中毒者,表现为经日不醒,也就是现在人们所说的“中酒”。
黑豆一升,煮取汁液,温服一盏,不超过三盏即可痊愈。
《斋闲览》记载:莴菜出自西域,有毒性,百虫不敢靠近,蛇虺经过其下方,误触碰到它则会眼睛昏花看不见东西。有人中了莴菜的毒,捣生姜汁饮下即可解毒。
The *History of the Southern Tang* records: Feng Yan Si, the Chancellor of the Southern Tang, suffered from severe chest pain that persisted for days without relief. He invited Wu Ting Shao, the Imperial Physician Director, to treat him. Wu secretly questioned the kitchen staff, asking, "What does the Chancellor usually eat?" The cook replied, "He eats a lot of pheasants and partridges." Wu said, "I have found the cause." He administered Gancao Tang (Licorice Decoction), and the patient recovered. This is because pheasants and partridges consume Aconitum (Wutou) and Pinellia (Banxia), so licorice was used to detoxify them.
The *Record of Famous Physicians* records: Lady Wang, a person from Zhejiang, suddenly developed several black spots on her face, which eventually covered her entire face with darkness. She sought treatment from many physicians without effect. Suddenly, she encountered a physician who said, "Lady, you have ingested food poison. I can cure you within one month." Later, it was discovered that his prescription consisted only of one slice of fresh ginger, chopped and crushed to extract juice. The dregs were dried by roasting, and then the juice was used to make pills. When asked about the rationale, he explained, "The lady frequently eats turtle doves. These birds often eat the seedlings of Pinellia (Banxia), thus ingesting its toxin. Therefore, ginger is used to resolve the toxicity."
The *Qingxi Xiabi* records: A merchant from Gusu traveled abroad for business. His wife kept several chickens waiting for his return. After several years, he returned. One day, they slaughtered the chickens and ate almost all of them. By nightfall, the husband died. Neighbors suspected infidelity and reported it to the authorities. Under torture, the woman confessed falsely. Prefect Yao Gong doubted the case and privately questioned the woman, who answered that she had eaten chicken. The prefect gathered dozens of old hens and ordered death row inmates to eat them thoroughly. Two inmates indeed died, and the case was cleared. This is because chickens eat centipedes, accumulating toxins over time; hence, health-preserving experts advise against eating old chickens.
Alcohol poisoning manifests as unconsciousness lasting for days, which is currently referred to as "Zhong Jiu" (drunkenness/poisoning from alcohol).
Boil one sheng of Heidou (Black Soybean, *Glycine max*) to extract the juice. Take one cup warm. No more than three cups are needed for recovery.
Crush Bai Luobo (White Radish, *Raphanus sativus*) to extract juice and drink it. Alternatively, eat it raw or decoct it for drinking; both methods are effective.
The *Zhai Xianlan* records: Lettuce (Wo Cai) originates from foreign lands and is toxic. Hundred insects dare not approach it. If snakes or vipers pass underneath and accidentally touch it, their eyes become dim, and they lose sight. For those poisoned by lettuce, crushing fresh ginger to extract juice and drinking it resolves the toxicity.
Consume one sheng of Yitang (Malt Sugar) entirely. Vomiting out worms will lead to recovery. Another method is to cook Congee with Xingren (Apricot Kernel, *Prunus armeniaca*) and Jingmi (Japonica Rice, *Oryza sativa var. japonica*). Drink two or three bowls to induce vomiting, which should expel the parasites (Jiaozi).
