自三吴、巴东以及南方各山郡县,在山谷溪流源头之处,有水毒病。此病在春秋季发作或加重,又名中水、中溪、中洒苏骇(这是当地人称呼的名字)、水病,也叫做溪温。如今人们称其为“中溪”,是因为这种病的症状与射工相似,所以通称为“溪”。
四肢:[此处原文排版错乱,结合上下文,“四肢”应属于症状描述部分,但原文将其插入在标题附近,根据任务要求逐句对照,此处保留位置但需理解其语境]
日则:[同上,原文片段]
脓:[同上,原文片段]
急:[同上,原文片段]
能:[同上,原文片段]
脉象沉细迟的属于阴证,是雌溪,难以治愈。想要确切知道是否是中水,看手足指头冷不冷就知道了。如果不冷,就不是。手指发冷的程度,或者一寸,或者到手腕,或者到肘部和膝盖。冷至二寸为轻微,冷至肘膝为严重。
又说,煮几斗热水,用蒜四升,捣碎后投入汤中,效果很好。滤去渣滓,调节水温适宜,用来沐浴。如果身体出现红色斑纹,就是中了此病。
又说,发病处生疮,像黑点周围发红,形状像鸡眼。长在身体高处的难治,低处的易治,没有其他不同。其症状表现只是觉得寒热交替、头痛、腰背拘急强直、手脚冰冷、久咳想睡觉,早晨好转傍晚加重。然而治疗溪病,不需要假借蒜汤,也不需要查看下部疮口。这个病症到了困顿严重时,也会出现腹泻和齿间出血。如果热势逐渐猛烈,就会心腹烦乱,不吃东西而胡言乱语。有的排出像烂肝一样的血块物,十几天到二十天就会死亡,死因无法预测。这是因为虫类侵蚀五脏、肛门受伤的缘故。
又说,溪病如果不痊愈,会有飞虫进入体内,或在皮肤、腹部胁肋之间,数量多少不定。这应该就是所说的虫类啃蚀五脏及下部的问题。如果攻噬五脏就会死亡。当地躲避这种方法,大致与防治射工相似。
治水毒的方剂:
取五加根烧成灰研成末,用酒或水调服二钱。研磨叶子饮用汁液也很好。
又一方:
将鲛鱼皮烧焦,用水调服二钱。
又一方:
捣碎七姑草,涂抹在腰背各处即可痊愈。七姑草生长在冬季,叶子细小像酸莓。
又一方:
取乌蒜一枚,捣烂,用半盏酒调和服用,应当痊愈。乌蒜又名乌韭,山中很多。
又一方:
捣苍耳取汁一大盏,分两次服用。
又一方:
取蓼草捣汁一小盏,慢慢饮下,同时涂抹全身使其均匀,立刻痊愈。
又一方:
取雄牛膝一把,用水和酒共一杯,浸泡后绞取汁液服用,每日三次。雄牛膝茎呈紫色,白色的是雌性的。
又一方:
桃叶、梅叶
以上药材等量,用水捣碎绞取汁一大盏,分为三(二)次服用,冷冻后饮用。
又一方:
取大莓根捣成末服用,并用于导引下部(灌肠或清洗下部)。鲜品使用汁液。夏天行走时常多……此药末入水,以一钱投入水流上游,无所畏惧。又能辟除射工。凡是洗浴时,将少量投入水盆中,就不再中毒了。
From Sanwu, Badong, and various mountain commanderies and counties in the south, in places such as valleys and stream sources, there is a disease called Water Poisoning. This illness occurs or worsens in spring and autumn. It is also known as Zhong Shui (Water Strike), Zhong Xi (Stream Strike), Zhong Sa Su Hai (a local term), Shui Bing (Water Disease), and Xi Wen (Stream Fever). Nowadays, people call it "Zhong Xi" because its symptoms are similar to those of She Gong (Arrow Bug), so it is generally referred to as "Xi" (Stream).

A pulse that is deep, fine, and slow indicates a Yin syndrome, specifically Ci Xi (Female Stream), which is difficult to treat. To confirm if it is indeed Zhong Shui, check if the fingers of the hands and feet are cold. If they are not cold, it is not this condition. The coldness may extend one cun, up to the wrist, or up to the elbow and knee. Coldness extending two cun is mild; reaching the elbows and knees is severe.
Another method states: Boil several dou of hot water, add four sheng of garlic, crush it, and put it into the water. This is effective. Strain out the dregs, adjust the temperature to be suitable, and bathe in it. If red spots appear on the body, it confirms the diagnosis.
Another description states: Sores appear at the affected site, resembling black dots surrounded by redness, looking like chicken eyes. Lesions on higher parts of the body are difficult to treat, while those on lower parts are easier. There are no other differences. The symptoms include feeling alternating chills and fever, headache, stiffness and spasm of the waist and back, cold hands and feet, chronic cough with drowsiness, improvement in the morning and worsening in the evening. However, treating Xi Bing does not require garlic baths or examining sores in the lower body. When this condition becomes critical, it may also cause diarrhea and bleeding from between the teeth. If the heat intensifies, it leads to restlessness in the heart and abdomen, anorexia, and delirious speech. Some patients pass bloody matter resembling rotten liver. Death may occur within ten to twenty days due to unpredictable causes, resulting from insects eroding the five zang organs and injuring the anus.
It is also said that if Xi Bing does not heal, flying insects enter the body, residing in the skin or between the abdomen and ribs, with varying numbers. This corresponds to the aforementioned insect erosion of the five zang organs and lower body issues. If the insects attack the zang organs, death ensues. The methods used locally to ward this off are similar to those for She Gong.
Formulas for Treating Water Poisoning:
Burn the root of Wu Jia (Eleutherococcus senticosus / Acanthopanax gracilistylus) to ash, grind into powder, and take 2 qian mixed with wine or water. Drinking the juice of crushed leaves is also good.
Another formula:
Burn shark skin, mix with water, and take 2 qian.
Another formula:
Crush Qi Gu Cao (Seven-Gu Grass) and apply it to the waist and back. The patient will recover. Qi Gu grows in winter; its leaves are thin and resemble sour berries.
Another formula:
Take one Wu Suan (Black Garlic / Allium sativum var. nigrum), crush it thoroughly, mix with half a zhan of wine, and ingest. Recovery is expected. Wu Suan is also called Wu Jiu (Black Leek) and is abundant in mountains.
Another formula:
Crush Cang Er (Xanthium strumarium) to extract juice, take one large zhan, divided into two doses.
Another formula:
Extract juice from Liao (Polygonum hydropiper) in a small zhan, drink slowly, and simultaneously apply it all over the body. Immediate recovery occurs.
Another formula:
Take a handful of Xiong Niu Xi (Male Achyranthes bidentata root), soak in one cup of water and wine mixture, squeeze out the juice, and drink. Take three times daily. Male Niu Xi stems are purple; female ones are white.
Another formula:
Tao Ye (Peach Leaf) and Mei Ye (Plum Leaf)
Take equal amounts of the above herbs, crush with water, squeeze out one large zhan of juice, divide into three (or two) doses, and drink after chilling.
Another formula:
Take a bunch of Lan (Isatis root / Indigofera tinctoria leaf), crush and extract juice, apply to the face, eyes, and body. Very effective.
Another formula:
Grind Da Mei Gen (Large Berry Root) into powder and ingest. Also use to irrigate the lower body. Fresh plants provide juice. In summer, when walking frequently... This herb powder in water: throw one qian into the upstream flow without fear. It also repels She Gong. For bathing, adding a small amount to the bathwater prevents poisoning.
