游宦余谈：队队这种昆虫形状像壁虱，天生成对出现，缅甸有出产。当地妇女如果有不被丈夫喜爱的，将其养在枕头里，夫妻感情自然就会和睦，所以人们不惜用金珠去交换它。詹景凤《小辨》记载：同年进士、御史苏民杰，从云南巡视回来，告诉我：“云南有一种小虫，名叫队队，形状像虱子，出来时必定雌雄相随；人偶然得到它，卖给富贵人家，价格高达四到五两银子。富贵人家把它装在银盒里，放在枕头内，夫妻就能和睦而不反目，这是具有正气之物。”
队队可入媚药，治疗夫妇不和。
职方考：福建邵武府出产风蛤，外形像蛤蟆。峨眉山脚下有几个村庄，每年春初东南风起时，这种虫子就会布满床铺和厨房。它的性质温暖，能治疗风邪以及手足拘挛、折伤。
谢天士说：各种昆虫大多入药，只有饭苍蝇没有药用价值，所以本草书中不记载它的主治功效。我深思十年，找不到它的主治用途。嘉庆庚申年，偶然在东江遇到柴又升先生，他说：“以前我在台州患面部疔疮，刚起病时就麻木，痒得几乎入骨，难以忍受。山中匆忙无药可用，有人教我用七个饭苍蝇、一两二分冰片，一起研烂敷在患处，毒气就不会扩散走黄。照此办理，果然瘙痒停止，第二天逐渐痊愈，十天就好了。”
饭苍蝇能束住疔疮根部，防止毒气走黄；涂在疮疤上，能使毛发再生。
吴秀峰用它涂抹小儿疖肿，愈合后脱疤不长头发，用此法捣碎涂抹，立刻就能长出毛发。
塞入鼻孔，治疗拳毛倒睫（依据《药性考》）。
粤志：广东阳春有一种蜂，曾经附着在橄榄树上生长，虽然有头足，但与木叶没有区别，必须等到树叶凋落才能找到。当地人把它放在箱柜里，每当遇到蛊毒时它就会鸣叫，鸣叫时就像在自我呼救，人们又根据声音的清浊来占卜祸福，佩戴它可以辟除蛊毒。
《本草纲目》只记载了蜜蜂的子（蜂房/蜂巢），说它入足阳明经、足太阴经，而没有记载使用蜜蜂本身；《赤水元珠》中有治疗瘰疬的方剂用到它，是补益作用在后。
《赤水元珠》记载：蜜蜂同杏仁叶、蝙蝠、蛇蜕一起，治疗瘰疬神效。
Traveler's Tales: The "Duidui" insect resembles a bedbug (Cimicidae) and is born in fixed pairs; it is found in Myanmar. Local women who are not favored by their husbands keep them in their pillows, believing that marital affection will naturally harmonize, so they do not spare gold and pearls to exchange for them. Zhan Jingfeng's *Xiao Bian*: My fellow Jinshi and Censor Su Minjie, upon returning from his inspection tour of Yunnan, told me: "In Yunnan, there is a small insect called 'Duidui', shaped like a louse, which always appears with its mate; if one happens to obtain it and sells it to wealthy families, the price can reach four or five taels of silver. Wealthy families store it in silver boxes and place it inside pillows, believing this ensures marital harmony without discord. This is an object possessing righteous qi."
Duidui can be used as an aphrodisiac to treat marital discord.
*Zhifang Kao*: Fengge (Wind Toad) is produced in Shaowu Prefecture, Fujian, resembling a toad. In several villages at the foot of Mount Emei, when the southeast wind blows in early spring, these creatures cover beds and kitchens. Their nature is warm, and they treat wind pathogens as well as spasms and fractures of the hands and feet.
Xie Tianshi said: Various insects are mostly used in medicine, but only the housefly (Fan Cangying) has no medicinal value, hence its therapeutic indications are not recorded in Materia Medica. I pondered deeply for ten years but could not find its therapeutic use. In the Gengshen year of the Jiaqing reign, I accidentally met Mr. Chai Yousheng at Dongjiang. He said: "Previously, while in Taizhou, I suffered from a facial carbuncle (Mian Ding). At the onset, it was numb and itchiness penetrated nearly to the bone, unbearable. Lacking medicine hastily in the mountains, someone taught me to crush seven houseflies with one or two fen of borneol (Bingpian), grind them into a paste, and apply it. The toxic heat did not spread (Zouhuang). Following this advice, the itching stopped immediately, improvement began the next day, and full recovery occurred within ten days."
It binds the root of carbuncles, preventing the spread of toxic heat; applied to scarred sores, it promotes hair growth.
Wu Xiufeng used it to smear on pediatric furuncles; after healing, if scars formed without hair regrowth, crushing and applying this remedy caused immediate hair growth.
Inserted into the nose, it treats trichiasis (Quanmao Daojie).
*Yuezhi*: In Yangchun, Guangdong, there is a bee that grows attached to olive trees. Although it has head and legs, it is indistinguishable from tree leaves until the leaves fall, at which point it can be collected. Locals keep it in chests; whenever gu poison is encountered, it chirps, seemingly calling out for itself. People also divine fortune or misfortune based on the clarity or muddiness of its sound. Wearing it wards off gu poison.
*Bencao Gangmu* only records the honeycomb (Fangzi), stating it enters the Foot-Yangming and Foot-Taiyin meridians, and does not record the use of the bee itself; *Chishui Yuanzhu* includes it in formulas for treating scrofula (Luoli), noting its tonifying effect comes later.
*Chishui Yuanzhu* states: Bees combined with apricot leaf (Xingren Ye), bat (Bianfu), and snake slough (Shetui) are miraculously effective in treating scrofula.
