申斗垣曰∶狐刺疮是竹木刺签伤皮肉或手足而成，痛不可忍，有雌雄两种，当
分治之。雄者只生一个，雌者生有五七个。疮内皆有乱丝，疮外必然有刺者是也。（《启玄》）
《大成》书名狐狸刺，盖螳螂，又名野狐鼻涕故名。
《外台》《总录》二书名狐尿刺。
《心法》曰∶狐尿刺由螳螂盛暑交媾，
精汁染于竹木诸物，于久有毒，人手足误触之，则成此患。初起红紫斑点，肌肤干
燥闷热， 痛不眠。十日后腐开，疮口自宽，宜服黄连解毒汤，外以蒲公英连根浓
煎，温洗之。若有鲜者，捣汁浓涂患处，更佳。
验方（《启玄》）。
桑柴灰 轻粉（等分）
研匀。干罨患上，以米醋浇之，频换立愈。
铁棘竹木诸刺，在肉内不出，并蛇骨刺人毒痛。死老鼠 研敷之。
凡竹木刺破皮肤，或鱼刺诸骨伤损之后，误犯生水，疼痛溃烂，名伤水疮。五
倍子、蛤粉、黄丹各等分，同炒变色，研，干掺。
断食颡者可治，断气颡者难治。
全要知觉早，急急将头扶住，乘其气未绝，额未冷，用丝线缝合刀口，将活雄
鸡一二只，扯下热鸡皮，（冷则无用，）周遭缠护刀口，用软绵帛并棉花扎之，外将女人旧
裹脚，周遭再缠五六转，勿使泄气，其中自然合而为一，令刎者仰卧，以高枕枕住
脑后，使刀口不开，须要避风衣被盖暖。若气从口鼻通出，用白米一盒，入人参一钱，
生姜三片同煎，粥汤饮之，接补元气，再请明医诊视。
凡自刎喉管不断者，不可见水，急用麻线缝之，外以血竭细末罨之，随用天下
第一金疮药浓涂之，绵纸盖定。然后用狭裹脚布缠住，用棉扎之，间日加敷药，头
不可摇动，十日全愈。（程山龄）
自刎者，乃迅速之变，须救在早，迟则额冷气绝，必难救矣。初刎时，气未绝，
身未冷，急用丝线缝合刀口，掺上桃花散，多掺为要。急以棉纸四五层，盖刀口药上，
以女人旧布裹脚，将头抬起，周遭缠绕五六转扎之。患者仰卧，以高枕枕在脑后，使
项郁而不直，刀口不开。冬夏避风，衣被覆暖。待患者气从口鼻通出，以姜五片，人
参二钱，川米一合，煎汤或稀粥，每日随便食下，接补元气。三日后急手解去前药，
用桃花散掺刀口上，仍急缠扎。扎二日，急用浓葱汤软绢蘸洗伤处挹干，用抿脚挑玉
红膏放手心上，捺化搽于伤口处，再用旧棉花薄片盖之。外用长黑膏裹周遭，交扎
不脱，近喉刀口两旁，再用黑膏长四寸，阔二寸，竖在膏上，两头贴粘好肉，庶不脱
落。外再用绢条围裹三转，针线缝头。冬月三日，夏月二日，每用葱汤洗挹换药，自
然再不疼痛。其肉渐从两头长合，内服八珍汤调理月余。如大便结燥，用猪胆导法，
不可用利药利之。双颡俱断者百日，单颡断者四十日，必收功完口。此法曾治强盗
郭忠，皂隶沙万，家人顾兴，俱双颡齐断将危者，用之全活。单颡伤断者十余人，治之俱保无虞矣。
又曰∶降香末或松香末掺之神效。
申斗垣说：狐刺疮是由于竹木刺签扎伤皮肉，或者发生在手足部位而形成的。疼痛难以忍受，分为雌、雄两种类型，应当分别治疗。雄性的只长一个疮口，雌性的会长五到七个。疮内部都有乱丝状的物质，疮外部必然有残留的刺，这就是狐刺疮。（出自《启玄》）
《大成》一书将其命名为狐狸刺，大概是因为螳螂又名野狐鼻涕，所以得名。
《外台秘要》和《总录》两本书称之为狐尿刺。
《心法》说：狐尿刺是由螳螂在盛暑时节交配，精液沾染在竹木等物体上，日久产生毒性，人的手足误触后，就会形成这种病患。初起时出现红紫斑点，肌肤干燥闷热，疼痛导致无法入睡。十日后疮口腐烂破溃，疮口自然变宽，适宜服用黄连解毒汤，外用蒲公英连根浓煎，温洗患处。如果有新鲜的蒲公英，捣汁浓涂患处，效果更好。
验方（出自《启玄》）。
桑柴灰与轻粉（各取等分），研磨均匀。干敷于患处以米醋浇淋，频繁更换即可立即痊愈。
对于铁棘、竹木等各种刺扎入肉内无法取出，以及蛇骨刺人引起的毒痛，可用死老鼠研碎后敷贴。
凡是竹木刺破皮肤，或鱼刺及其他骨骼损伤之后，误接触生水，导致疼痛溃烂的，称为伤水疮。用五倍子、蛤粉、黄丹各等分，一同炒至变色，研磨成粉，干掺于患处。
如果双侧颈动脉（颡）断裂尚可治疗，如果双侧气管（气颡）断裂则难治。
救治的关键在于知觉要早，必须紧急扶住患者头部，趁其气息未绝、额头未冷时，用丝线缝合刀口。取活雄鸡一两只，扯下热鸡皮（若变冷则无效），围绕缠绕保护刀口，用软绵帛和棉花包扎固定，外面再用女人旧的裹脚布，围绕再缠五六圈，不要漏气，伤口自然会愈合为一。令自刎者仰卧，用高枕垫高脑后，使刀口不张开，务必避风并用衣被盖暖。如果气息能从口鼻通畅呼出，用白米一盒，加入人参一钱、生姜三片同煮，饮用米汤以接补元气，随后再请高明医生诊视。
凡自刎但喉管未完全断开的，不可见水，紧急用麻线缝合，外用血竭细末敷贴，随即涂上“天下第一金疮药”并浓涂，用绵纸覆盖固定。然后用窄条裹脚布缠紧，用棉花扎牢，隔天换药一次，头部不可摇动，十日即可全愈。（程山龄）
自刎是迅速发生的变故，必须尽早抢救，迟则额头发冷、气息断绝，必定难以救治。刚自刎时，气息未绝，身体未冷，紧急用丝线缝合刀口，撒上桃花散，多撒些为好。紧急用四五层棉纸覆盖在刀口药物上，用女人旧布裹脚布将头抬起，周围缠绕五六圈扎紧。患者仰卧，用高枕垫在脑后，使颈部郁屈而不伸直，防止刀口张开。冬夏季节都要避风，衣被覆盖保暖。待患者气息从口鼻通畅呼出后，用姜五片、人参二钱、粳米一合，煎汤或稀粥，每日随意食用，以接补元气。三日后紧急解开前面的药物，用桃花散撒在刀口上，仍紧急缠扎。扎两天后，紧急用浓葱汤蘸软绢清洗伤口并擦干，用手掌心化开抿脚挑玉红膏涂抹于伤口处，再用旧棉花薄片覆盖。外用长黑膏包裹四周，交叉扎紧不脱落，靠近喉咙的刀口两旁，再用长四寸、宽二寸的黑膏竖贴在膏上，两头粘好周围的肉，这样就不会脱落。外面再用绢条围裹三转，针线缝合头部。冬季三天，夏季两天，每次用葱汤清洗擦干换药，自然不再疼痛。肌肉逐渐从两头生长愈合，内服八珍汤调理一个多月。如果大便干结燥硬，用猪胆导便法，不可使用泻药攻下。双侧颈动脉和气管都断开的需百日，单侧断开的需四十日，必定能收功愈合。此法曾治愈强盗郭忠、皂隶沙万、家人顾兴，都是双侧颈动脉齐断濒临死亡的患者，使用后全部存活。单侧受伤断开的十余人，治疗后都保全无虞。
Shen Douyuan stated: Hu Ci Chuang (Fox Thorns Ulcer) is caused by injuries from bamboo or wood splinters penetrating the skin and flesh, or occurring on the hands and feet. The pain is unbearable. It is divided into two types: male and female, which should be treated separately. The "male" type presents as a single ulcer, while the "female" type presents with five to seven ulcers. Inside the ulcer, there are chaotic fibrous strands, and outside, there are inevitably residual thorns; this constitutes Hu Ci Chuang (Fox Thorns Ulcer). (From *Qi Xuan*)
The book *Da Cheng* names it "Hu Li Ci" (Fox Thorns), likely because the mantis is also known as "Ye Hu Bi Ti" (Wild Fox Nasal Discharge), hence the name.
The books *Wai Tai Mi Yao* (Essential Prescriptions of the Imperial Hospital) and *Zong Lu* refer to it as "Hu Niao Ci" (Fox Urine Thorns).
The book *Xin Fa* states: Hu Niao Ci arises when mantises mate during the peak of summer, and their seminal fluid contaminates bamboo, wood, and other objects. After a long time, this becomes toxic. If humans accidentally touch these contaminated items with their hands or feet, this affliction occurs. Initially, red-purple spots appear, the skin feels dry, hot, and stifling, and pain prevents sleep. After ten days, the ulcer necrotizes and opens, widening naturally. It is appropriate to take Huang Lian Jie Du Tang (Coptis Decoction for Detoxification). Externally, boil dandelion (Taraxaci Herba) with roots in concentrated decoction and wash the affected area with warm liquid. If fresh dandelion is available, crush it to extract juice and apply thickly to the lesion, which is even better.
Empirical Prescription (from *Qi Xuan*).
Sang Chai Hui (Ash of Mulberry Firewood) and Qing Fen (Calomel), in equal parts. Grind uniformly. Apply dry powder to the lesion and pour rice vinegar over it; change frequently until immediate healing occurs.
For iron thorns, bamboo, wood, and other splinters embedded in the flesh that cannot be removed, as well as venomous pain from snake bone pricks, grind dead mice and apply as a poultice.
Whenever bamboo or wood splinters break the skin, or fish bones and other skeletal fragments cause injury, if clean water is mistakenly introduced, leading to painful ulceration, it is named Shang Shui Chuang (Water Injury Ulcer). Use Wu Bei Zi (Galla Chinensis), Ge Fen (Concha Meretricis et Cyprinae), and Huang Dan (Lithargyrum) in equal parts. Stir-fry together until the color changes, grind into powder, and apply dry powder to the wound.
If the bilateral carotid arteries (Shuang Sa) are severed, it can be treated; if the bilateral trachea (Qi Sa) is severed, it is difficult to treat.
The key to rescue lies in early intervention. Quickly support the patient's head. While breath remains and the forehead is not yet cold, suture the knife wound with silk thread. Take one or two live roosters, tear off the hot chicken skin (if cold, it is useless), wrap it around the wound to protect it, and bind with soft cotton cloth and cotton wool. Externally, wrap again with an old woman's foot-binding cloth for five or six turns, ensuring no air escapes. The wound will naturally heal together. Have the victim lie supine, supporting the back of the head with a high pillow to keep the wound open-free. Avoid wind and keep warm with clothing and blankets. If breath flows freely from the mouth and nose, cook one box of white rice with one qian of Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix) and three slices of Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma). Drink the broth to replenish Yuan Qi (Primal Qi), then invite a skilled physician for further examination.
In cases of self-mutilation where the trachea is not completely severed, avoid contact with water. Urgently suture with hemp thread. Apply fine powder of Xue Jie (Dragon's Blood) externally, followed by a thick application of "Tian Xia Di Yi Jin Chuang Yao" (Number One Golden Wound Medicine in the World), covered with cotton paper. Then bind tightly with narrow foot-binding cloth and secure with cotton. Change dressing every other day. Do not move the head. Full recovery in ten days. (Cheng Shanling)
Self-mutilation is a rapid emergency requiring immediate rescue. Delay leads to a cold forehead and cessation of breath, making rescue impossible. Immediately after the act, while breath remains and the body is not cold, suture the wound with silk thread and sprinkle Tao Hua San (Peach Blossom Powder) generously. Cover the medication on the wound with four to five layers of cotton paper. Lift the head using an old woman's foot-binding cloth, wrapping and tying five or six times around. The patient lies supine with a high pillow under the head to flex the neck slightly, preventing the wound from gaping. Protect from wind in both winter and summer, keeping warm with bedding. Once breath flows freely from the mouth and nose, decoct five slices of ginger, two qian of Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), and one he of Jing Mi (Coicis Semen/Japonica Rice) to make soup or thin porridge. Consume at will daily to replenish Yuan Qi (Primal Qi). After three days, urgently remove the previous dressing. Sprinkle Tao Hua San (Peach Blossom Powder) on the wound and re-bind urgently. After two days of binding, urgently wash the wound with strong scallion soup using soft silk, dab dry, and melt Min Jiao Tiao Yu Hong Gao (Jade Red Ointment) in the palm to apply to the wound. Cover with thin old cotton sheets. Externally, wrap with long black plaster, crossing bindings securely. Near the throat, on both sides of the wound, place vertical strips of black plaster (four cun long, two cun wide) adhering to healthy skin to prevent detachment. Wrap three more turns with silk strips and suture the scalp. In winter, change dressings every three days; in summer, every two days. Wash with scallion soup each time. Pain will cease naturally. Muscle tissue will gradually grow and unite from both ends. Internally, administer Ba Zhen Tang (Eight Treasures Decoction) for regulation for over a month. If constipation occurs, use pig gallbladder enema method; do not use purgatives. For bilateral severance of carotids and trachea, recovery takes one hundred days; for unilateral severance, forty days. Complete healing is assured. This method successfully treated bandit Guo Zhong, constable Sha Wan, and servant Guo Xing, all of whom had bilateral carotid severances and were near death; they survived. Over ten patients with unilateral severance were also saved without incident.
It is also said: Applying powder of Jiang Xiang (Aquilariae Lignum Resinatum) or Song Xiang (Rosin) to the wound yields miraculous effects.
