【集解】
藏器说:生长在山林之间。形状像百足虫但体型更大,呈黑色带斑纹,长度二、三寸。还有大如手指的,名叫马陆,能够攀爬树木。
李时珍说:查考《神农本草经》,马陆又名百足,形状像大的蛩虫,而这里说形状像百足虫但更大,更大的才叫马陆,这似乎又将百足和另一种生物混为一谈了。大概这就是山中生长的、体型较大的马陆罢了,所以称为山蛩。鸡和狗都不敢吃它。
【气味】有大毒。
【主治】治疗人们嗜酒不止的症状,取一节烧成灰,用水送服,就不再喜欢闻酒的气味。如果服用超过一节,则毒性强烈至人死亡。又将其烧黑后外敷恶疮,也能治疗蚕病中的白僵病,烧成灰后撒粉外用(藏器)。
【附录】蚰蜒(出自《本草拾遗》)
藏器说:形状像蜈蚣但更长,颜色纯正黄色无斑纹,大的如发钗股粗细,它的脚无数多,喜欢油脂香味,所以会进入人的耳朵及各个孔窍中。用驴乳灌入,它就会化为水。
李时珍说:到处都有,在墙壁、房屋腐烂的草堆中尤其多。形状像小蜈蚣,但身体圆而不扁,尾部秃且不分叉,脚多,大的长一寸多,死后也蜷曲成环状,所以陶弘景误把它当作马陆。它进入人耳,用龙脑、地龙、砂末,单独吹入都有效。或者用香物引诱它出来。《淮南子》说“菖蒲能去除蚤虱并引来蛉蛩”,指的就是这种虫。扬雄《方言》说:一名入耳,一名蚨 ,一名 ,一名 。

治疗方法。
李时珍说:蠼 喜欢伏在毛毯之下,因此得名。有的写作 。按《周礼·赤茇氏》记载:凡是缝隙漏风的屋子,要清除其中的 虫 之类,就是寻找并搜捕它们。这种虫隐居在墙壁及器物下面,长度不及一寸,形状像小蜈蚣,青黑色。有两根触须六只脚,脚长在腹部前方,尾巴有分叉,能夹住人物,俗名搜夹子。它的尿液射到人的影子上,使人患上疮疡,身体出现寒热症状。古方使用犀角汁、鸡肠草汁、马鞭草汁、梨叶汁、茶叶末、紫草末、羊髭灰、鹿角末、燕窠土,只要选取其中一种涂抹都有效。孙思邈《千金方》说:我曾在六月得此疮,经过五、六天治疗未愈。有人教画
(From *Bencao Shiyi* [Supplement to Materia Medica])
【Jieji (Collected Explanations)】
Zang Qi stated: It grows in mountain forests. Its shape resembles that of a centipede but is larger, with a black and spotted coloration, measuring two or three cun in length. There are also specimens as large as a finger, named Malu (Millipede), which can climb trees.
Li Shizhen stated: According to the *Shennong Bencao Jing*, Malu is also known as Baizu (Centipede), resembling a large Qiong insect. However, the text here states it resembles Baizu but is larger, and the even larger ones are called Malu, which seems to conflate Baizu with another entity. It is likely that this refers to the Malu found in mountains that has grown larger, hence the name Shanqiong (Mountain Qiong). Neither chickens nor dogs dare to eat it.
【Qiwei (Odor and Flavor)】Possesses great toxicity.
【Zhuzhi (Main Indications)】Treats excessive alcohol craving. Take one segment, burn it to ash, and administer with water; the patient will no longer desire the smell of alcohol. If more than one segment is used, the toxicity becomes fatal. Additionally, when burned until black and applied topically, it treats malignant sores. It also treats "white stiff" disease in silkworms; burnt to ash and applied as powder (Zang Qi).
【Fulu (Appendix)】Youyan (House Centipede) (From *Bencao Shiyi*)
Zang Qi stated: Its shape resembles a centipede but is much longer, with a pure yellow color without spots. The larger ones are as thick as a hairpin shaft. It has countless legs and is attracted to the fragrance of animal fat/oil, thus entering human ears and various orifices. Irrigating with donkey milk causes it to dissolve into water.
Li Shizhen stated: It is found everywhere, especially in decaying grass within walls and houses. Its shape resembles a small centipede, but its body is round rather than flat, and its tail is blunt and unbranched. It has many legs; the larger ones exceed one cun in length. Even after death, it curls into a ring. Therefore, Tao Hongjing mistakenly identified it as Malu. When it enters the human ear, blowing in Longnao (Borneol), Dilong (Earthworm), or sand alone is effective. Alternatively, it can be lured out using aromatic substances. *Huainanzi* states that "Acorus removes fleas and lice and attracts Lingqiong," referring to this insect. Yang Xiong’s *Fangyan* states: It is also known as Ruer (Entering Ear), Fu , , and .
When humans suffer from sores resembling heat rash but larger,
[The text cuts off here regarding the treatment method.]
Li Shizhen stated: Quzao (Earwig) likes to hide under rugs, hence its name. Sometimes written as . According to *Zhouli · Chi Bai Shi*: For any house with gaps, one must remove insects of the category, meaning to search for and eliminate them. This insect hides in walls and under objects, measuring less than one cun in length, resembling a small centipede, with a dark green-black color. It has two antennae and six legs located at the front of the abdomen. The tail is forked and capable of pinching objects; commonly known as Soujiazi (Searcher-Clipper). Its urine sprayed onto a person's shadow causes sores and symptoms of alternating chills and fever. Ancient formulas use Rhinoceros Horn juice, Jichangcao (Polygonum aviculare) juice, Mabiancao (Verbena officinalis) juice, Pear leaf juice, tea leaf powder, Zicao (Arnebiae Radix et Rhizoma) powder, sheep whiskers ash, deer horn powder, or swallow nest soil. Applying any single one of these is effective. Sun Simiao’s *Qianjin Fang* states: I once suffered from this sore in June, and after five or six days of treatment, it did not heal.
