曾氏荣曰∶元贞乙未春，有王千户来自广西，安船河下，一子仅二周，患头痛，服药、针灸不效。
召曾诊视，色脉俱好，惟额上微红，以手法验之，大哭泪下。其母怒而见诘，曾亦置之勿论，但究心
以病为事，再
问当时得病之因。千户云∶初在静江时，大风吹篷扑着，便不快。曾曰∶此疾若令细揣头上，便知其
症。彼诺之，遂遣家人出外探亲，其父自抱，曾揣之，果有小筏签刺在囟上皮下，即篷签也。以酥油
润透，用镊摘出，痛定即安。若以匹妇饶舌而退，则及幼之心不溥矣。后之医流，倘见婴儿色脉好而
病者，用药不应，必有他故，宜细心推原，切勿拘泥可也。（《幼幼心书》）
富次律云∶治竹木刺，出《圣惠方》，曾用救一庄仆，极妙。其人有一脚心刺痛楚，濒死，黄昏
敷药，痛尤甚，至四更视之，刺已出，遂安。用乌羊粪烂捣，水和罨伤处，浓敷之为佳。（《百乙方》）
张荐员外住剑南，张延赏判官，忽被蜘蛛咬头上。一宿，咬处有二度赤色，细如筋，绕项上，从
胸前下至心经。两宿，头肿瘀大如升碗，肚渐肿，几至不救。张公出钱五百千，并荐家财又数百千，
募能疗者。忽一人应召云可治，张公甚不信之，欲验其方。其人云∶不谙方，但疗人性命耳。遂取大
蓝汁一碗，以蜘蛛投之，至汁而死。又取蓝汁加麝香、雄黄，更以蛛投之，随化为水。张公因甚异之，
遂令点于咬处，两日悉平，非小疮而愈。（《本草纲目》）
《字林》云∶ 听，形如蜥蜴，出魏兴，居树上，见人则跳来啮之，啮已还树，垂头听哭声乃去，
即千岁蝮也。其状头尾一般，大如捣衣杵，俗名合木蛇，长一二尺，谈野翁方名斫木蛇，又名望板归。
救之，用嫩黄荆叶捣烂敷之。（《本草纲目》）
处士刘易，隐居王屋山。尝于斋中见一蜂，冒于蛛网，蛛搏之，为蜂所螫，坠地。俄顷，蜘蛛鼓
腹欲裂，徐行入草，啮芋根微破，以疮就啮处磨之。良久，腹渐消，轻躁如故。自后人有被蜂螫者，
芋根敷之则愈。（《笔谈》）
蚯蚓粪能治蜂螫。余少时摘黄柑，为蜂所毒，急以井泉调蚯蚓粪涂之，立止。闻之昔人，纳凉檐
际，见有蜂为蜘蛛所 ，蛛出取蜂，受螫而堕。少苏，爬沙墙角，以后足抵蚯蚓粪，掩其伤。须臾，
健行，卒啖其蜂于网。信乎，物亦有知也。沈存中《笔谈》亦记一事，与此相类，但谓以芋梗耳，姑
识之。（《客中间间集》）
麻知几村行，为犬所啮，舁至家，颈肿如罐，坚若铁石，毒瓦斯入里，呕不下食，头痛而重。往问
戴人，女僮曰∶痛随利减。以槟榔丸下之，见两行，不瘥。适戴人自舞阳回，问麻曰∶胫肿如此，足
之二阴三阳可行乎？麻曰∶俱不可行。戴人曰∶当大下之。乃命临夜卧服舟车丸百五十粒，通经散三
四钱。比至夜半，去十四行，肿立消，作胡桃纹，反细于不伤之胫。嘱其慎勿贴膏纸，当令毒瓦斯出，
流脓血水。又一日，恐毒瓦斯未尽，又服舟车丸百余粒，浚川散三四钱，见六行。病患曰∶十四行易当，
六行反难，何也？曰∶病盛则胜药，病衰则不胜其药也。六日，其脓水尽。又嘱其脓水行时不畏风，
尽后畏风也。乃以愈风饼子，日三服之。又二日，方与生肌散，一敷之而成痂。呜呼！用药有多寡，
便差别相悬，向使不见戴人，则利减之言非也。以此知医之难，用医尤难。（戴人即张子和。）
凡疯狗、毒蛇咬伤者，只以人粪涂伤处，新粪尤佳。诸药不及此。（楮记室出《檐曝偶谈》）

被螫，如前灸之，痛即止。薛母又尝为蜈蚣伤指，亦用前法而愈。凡蜈蚣毒之类所伤，根据此疗之，并
效。本草谓蒜疗疮毒，有回生之功。

尿滴耳，果出一臭虫，遂不复痛。或用麻油滴之，则虫死难出。或用炒芝麻枕之，则虫亦出，但不及
猫尿之速也。（此案，耳门亦收之，非重出也。恐患此者，不知是虫，便翻阅耳。）

曾氏荣说：元贞乙未年春天，有一位王千户从广西来，将船停靠在河边，他有一个刚满两周岁的儿子，患头痛病，服药和针灸治疗都没有效果。
请曾氏荣诊治，患儿面色和脉象都很好，只有额头微微发红，用手按压检查时，孩子大哭并流泪。他的母亲生气地责问，曾氏荣也不予理会，只是专心研究病情，再次询问当时得病的原因。千户说：起初在静江时，大风吹动船篷拍打到了孩子身上，随后就不舒服了。曾氏荣说：这个病如果仔细摸查头部，就能知道症状所在。那人答应了，于是让家人出去探亲，父亲亲自抱着孩子，曾氏荣摸查后，果然发现有一根小竹签刺入了囟门下的皮下，那就是船篷上的竹签。用酥油润透皮肤，用镊子夹出，疼痛停止后孩子就安好了。如果因为妇人的饶舌而退却，那么对幼小心灵的爱护就不周遍了。后来的医生们，如果遇到婴儿面色脉象都好但用药无效的病例，一定有其他原因，应该细心推究根源，千万不要拘泥固执。（出自《幼幼心书》）
富次律说：治疗竹木刺伤的方法，出自《圣惠方》，我曾经用它救过一个庄院的仆人，非常有效。那个人脚心刺痛难忍，濒临死亡，黄昏时分敷药，疼痛更加剧烈，到四更天查看时，刺已经出来了，于是平安无事。使用乌羊粪捣烂，用水调和敷在伤口处，厚敷为好。（出自《百乙方》）
张荐员外住在剑南，判官张延赏，忽然被蜘蛛咬了头部。过了一夜，咬处出现两道红色痕迹，细如筋脉，绕过头颈，从胸前下行至心经部位。过了两夜，头肿瘀血胀大如升碗，肚子也逐渐肿胀，几乎无法救治。张公拿出五百贯钱，加上张荐家的财产又有几百贯，招募能治疗的人。忽然有一个人响应召令说可以治疗，张公很怀疑，想查验他的药方。那人说：我不懂药方，只懂得救治人命罢了。于是取一大碗蓝汁，把蜘蛛放进去，直到汁液变死（变色）。又取蓝汁加入麝香、雄黄，再放入蜘蛛，随即化为水。张公因此感到很惊奇，于是让他点在咬伤处，两天后完全平复，不是小疮而是痊愈了。（出自《本草纲目》）
《字林》说：听，形状像蜥蜴，出产于魏兴，居住在树上，看见人就跳下来咬人，咬完回到树上，垂着头听哭声才离开，就是千岁蝮蛇。它的形状头尾一般粗，大如捣衣杵，俗名合木蛇，长一二尺，谈野翁方才命名为斫木蛇，又名望板归。救治它，用嫩黄荆叶捣烂敷在伤口上。（出自《本草纲目》）
处士刘易，隐居在王屋山。曾经在书房里看见一只蜜蜂，陷入蛛网中，蜘蛛去搏斗，被蜜蜂螫伤，掉在地上。不一会儿，蜘蛛腹部鼓胀快要裂开，慢慢走进草丛，咬破芋根，用伤口在咬破处摩擦。很久之后，腹部逐渐消退，恢复轻躁如常。从此以后，有人被蜜蜂螫伤，用芋根敷上就能痊愈。（出自《笔谈》）
蚯蚓粪能治疗蜂螫。我年轻时摘黄柑，被蜜蜂毒伤，急忙用井泉水调蚯蚓粪涂抹，立刻停止疼痛。听古人说，曾在屋檐下乘凉，看见有一只蜜蜂被蜘蛛捕获，蜘蛛出来取蜜蜂，受螫后掉落。稍一苏醒，爬到沙墙角，用后足抵住蚯蚓粪，掩盖伤口。一会儿，健步走开，最终吃掉了网上的蜜蜂。确实啊，万物也有智慧。沈存中的《笔谈》也记载一件事，与此相似，只是说是用芋梗而已，姑且记录下来。（出自《客中间间集》）
麻知几在村中行走，被狗咬伤，抬回家时，颈部肿胀如罐，坚硬如铁石，毒气入里，呕吐不能进食，头痛沉重。前往请教戴人，女僮说：疼痛随着通利而减轻。用槟榔丸攻下，排出两行大便，没有好转。恰逢戴人从舞阳回来，问麻知几：小腿肿胀成这样，足部的二阴三阳经脉还能施针吗？麻知几说：都不可以施针。戴人说：应当大力攻下。于是命令他在临睡前服用舟车丸一百五十粒，通经散三四钱。等到半夜，排出十四行大便，肿胀立刻消除，皮肤皱缩如胡桃纹，反而比没受伤的小腿还细。嘱咐他千万不要贴膏药，应当让毒气排出，流出脓血水。又过了一天，恐怕毒气未尽，又服用舟车丸一百多粒，浚川散三四钱，排出六行。病人说：排出十四行容易对付，排出六行反而难，为什么呢？戴人说：病势盛时胜过药力，病势衰时则承受不住药力。六天后，脓水排尽。又嘱咐他在脓水流淌时不要怕风，流完后才怕风。于是服用愈风饼子，每天三次。又过了两天，才给予生肌散，敷一次就结痂。唉！用药有多有少，差别相悬，假如没见到戴人，那么“痛随利减”的说法就是错的。由此可知医学之难，使用医术尤其难。（戴人即张子和。）
凡是疯狗、毒蛇咬伤者，只用人的粪便涂抹伤口，新鲜的粪便尤其好。各种药物都比不上这个。（楮记室出自《檐曝偶谈》）
江怀禅师，被驴咬掉了鼻子，一位僧人用头发放入罐子，用盐泥密封固定，烧过后研成粉末，急忙用鼻子蘸灰，粘合固定，用软绢绑紧，有效。用此法擦落耳鼻，也有效。（出自《医学纲目》）
薛立斋治疗一个男子，被狗咬伤，疼痛剧烈，恶心，让他急忙吸出毒血，隔蒜灸患处几壮，疼痛立即停止。再贴上太乙膏，服用玉真散而痊愈。
一个男子被疯狗咬伤，牙关紧闭，不省人事，急忙针刺患处放出毒血，再隔蒜灸，许久后苏醒。用太乙膏封贴，服用玉真散两次后稍有好转。再服用解数散两次而痊愈。如果患病严重，必须先灌服苏合香丸，然后进汤药。
《针灸经》说：外邱穴，治疗狂犬咬伤，即疯狗所伤，发作寒热，迅速灸三壮，再灸患处，立即痊愈。春末夏初，狂犬咬人，过百日才能安宁。终身禁食犬肉蚕蛹，吃了就会发病，不可救治。宜先去恶血，灸咬处十壮，明天以后，每天灸一壮，百日才停止。忌酒七天，捣韭汁，饮用一二盏。另一方法，治疗狂犬伤，让人吮去恶血，灸百壮，神效。
治疗蛇进入七窍，急忙用艾灸蛇尾。另一方法，用刀切开蛇尾少许，放入花椒七粒，蛇自己会出来。随即用雄黄、朱砂末，煎人参汤，调匀灌服，内毒即刻解除。山居人被蛇咬伤，急忙用尿液清洗咬处，擦干，用艾灸它，立即见效。另一方法，用独头大蒜，切片放在患处，用艾在蒜上灸，每三壮换一片蒜，多灸为好。
立斋治疗陈鉴，居庸关人，被蝎子螫手，瘀痛彻心，顷刻间疼痛蔓延至腋下，寒战发热，肢体拘急，头痛恶心，这是邪正二气相搏所致。用飞龙夺命丹涂患处，以及服用止痛药，都不见效。于是用隔蒜灸法灸治，于是痊愈。薛母和薛立斋都曾遭受螫伤，像前面那样灸治，疼痛立即停止。薛母又曾被蜈蚣伤指，也用前面的方法而痊愈。凡是蜈蚣毒之类所伤，都按此疗法，都有效。本草说蒜治疗疮毒，有起死回生的功效。
一个猎户腿部被野狼咬伤，疼痛剧烈，用乳香定痛散治疗，无效。想到是阴部之下，气血凝结，药力难达，让他隔蒜灸五十多壮，瘀痛全部去除。仍以托里药及膏药贴敷而痊愈。
王生被狂犬咬伤腿部，顷刻间疼痛蔓延至大腿。第二天牙关紧急，用玉真散治疗，无效。也隔蒜灸三十多壮后苏醒。仍以玉真散及托里消毒药而痊愈。
立斋的父亲曾经在睡觉时有虫进入耳朵，疼痛昏眩。将姜擦猫鼻子，猫尿自然流出，取尿滴入耳内，虫子即出来而痊愈。又有一位百户张锦，自称耳内生疮，不时作痛，痛欲死，痛止如故。诊其脉皆安静，说不是疮。谈话间忽然疼痛发作，推测是有虫进入耳朵，让他回去，急忙取猫尿滴耳，果然出一臭虫，于是不再痛。或者用麻油滴入，则虫死难出。或者用炒芝麻枕着，则虫也会出来，但不如猫尿快。（此案，耳门也收录了，并非重复。恐怕患此病者，不知道是虫子，便翻阅耳部章节。）
《华佗传》说：彭城夫人夜里去厕所，被蠼螋螫了手，呻吟无奈。华佗让她用近热的温水，浸泡手中，最终得以入睡。旁边的人多次更换汤水，汤冷了就加热，第二天早晨就痊愈了。（出自《三国志》）
一个僧人被蛇咬伤，一只脚溃烂，百药不愈。一个游僧用新水几斗，洗净腐败部分，露出白筋，舀干，用白芷末加入胆矾、麝香少许，撒在上面。恶水涌出，每天如此，一个月后平复。（出自《奇疾方》）
苏韬光寓居婺女城外魁星馆，有人在一面墙上写一方子，说：此方治疗各种虫咬，神效。韬光屡次用来救人，都验证有效。该方用贝母研末，酒调匀，让病人适量饮用，喝不下就停止。不久，酒从伤口处作为水流出，水尽为止。然后用贝母塞住疮口，即痊愈。即使已死，只要有微气，可以下药的，就能活，神效不可言。（出自《集成》）
崇宁末年，陇西士兵，暑月中在厅下赤脚站立，脚下被蚯蚓咬中，于是无法救治。几天后，又有人被其毒害。博识者教以先喝一杯盐汤，次日用盐汤浸足，于是痊愈。

Zeng Shirong said: In the spring of Yiwu year of Yuanzhen era, a Commander Wang came from Guangxi and moored his boat by the river. His son, only two weeks old, suffered from headache. Medication and acupuncture were ineffective.
I was summoned to examine him. The child's complexion and pulse were both good, except for a slight redness on the forehead. Upon palpation, the child cried loudly with tears. His mother angrily questioned me, but I ignored her remarks and focused entirely on investigating the cause of the illness. I asked again about the circumstances when the illness began. Commander Wang said: "Initially at Jingjiang, a strong wind blew the sail against him, after which he became unwell." I said: "If you carefully palpate the head, the symptoms will be revealed." He agreed, sent his family members away to visit relatives, and held the child himself. Upon palpation, I indeed found a small bamboo splinter pierced into the subcutaneous tissue below the fontanelle, which was a splinter from the sail. After moistening the skin thoroughly with clarified butter and extracting it with tweezers, the pain ceased and the child recovered. Had I retreated due to the woman's chatter, my compassion for the infant would have been insufficient. Physicians in later times, if they encounter infants with good complexion and pulse but no response to medication, should realize there must be another cause, investigate carefully, and avoid being dogmatic. (From *Youyou Xinshu*)
Fu Cilü said: The method for treating bamboo or wood splinters is recorded in *Shenghui Fang*. I once used it to save a servant in a manor, and it was extremely effective. The patient had severe stabbing pain in the sole of his foot, nearing death. At dusk, medicine was applied, and the pain intensified. By the fourth watch (1-3 AM), upon inspection, the splinter had emerged, and he was safe. The treatment involved mashing black sheep dung, mixing it with water, and applying it thickly to the wound. (From *Baibai Fang*)
Commissioner Zhang Jian resided in Jiannan. Judge Zhang Yanshang was suddenly bitten on the head by a spider. Overnight, two red lines appeared at the bite site, thin as tendons, encircling the neck and descending from the chest to the heart meridian. After two nights, the head swelled with bruising to the size of a measuring bowl, and the abdomen gradually swelled, nearly leading to death. Lord Zhang offered five hundred thousand cash, plus several hundred thousand from Zhang Jian's wealth, to recruit a healer. Suddenly, a man responded, claiming he could cure it. Lord Zhang doubted him and wanted to inspect his prescription. The man said: "I do not know prescriptions; I only know how to save lives." He took a bowl of indigo juice, put the spider in it, until the juice turned dead (discolored). He then added musk and realgar to the indigo juice, put the spider in again, and it immediately dissolved into water. Lord Zhang was amazed and ordered him to apply it to the bite. Within two days, it completely healed, not just a minor wound. (From *Bencao Gangmu*)
*Zilin* states: Ting resembles a lizard, originates from Weixing, lives in trees, jumps down to bite people when seen, returns to the tree after biting, hangs its head listening to crying sounds before leaving. It is also known as Qiansui Fu snake. Its shape is uniform from head to tail, as thick as a laundry pestle, commonly called Hemu Snake, one to two chi long. Tan Ye Weng named it Zhuomu Snake, also known as Wangbangui. To treat the bite, mash fresh Huangjing leaves and apply them. (From *Bencao Gangmu*)
Scholar Liu Yi, living in seclusion on Mount Wangwu, once saw a bee trapped in a spider web in his study. The spider attacked it but was stung by the bee and fell to the ground. Soon, the spider's abdomen swelled as if bursting. It slowly walked into the grass, bit open a taro root, and rubbed the wound against the bitten area. After a while, the swelling subsided, and it regained its agility. Since then, anyone stung by a bee can be cured by applying mashed taro root. (From *Bitan*)
Earthworm feces can treat bee stings. When I was young, picking yellow citrus fruits, I was stung by a bee. I urgently mixed earthworm feces with well water and applied it, stopping the pain immediately. I heard from elders that while cooling under an eaves, they saw a bee caught by a spider. The spider came out to take the bee, got stung, and fell. After regaining consciousness, it crawled to the corner of the wall, pressed its hind legs against earthworm feces to cover the wound. Soon, it walked healthily and finally ate the bee in the web. Indeed, all things possess wisdom. Shen Cunzhong's *Bitan* also records a similar incident, but mentions using taro stems instead. I record this here. (From *Kejian Jianji*)
Ma Zhiji was walking in the village when he was bitten by a dog. Brought home, his neck was swollen like a jar, hard as iron, with toxic qi entering the interior, causing vomiting, inability to eat, and heavy headache. He sought help from Dairen. A female servant said: "Pain decreases with purgation." Using Binglang Wan to purge, two rows of stool were passed, but no improvement. Dairen returned from Wuyang and asked Ma: "With such leg swelling, can the Yin and Yang meridians of the foot be needled?" Ma said: "None are suitable." Dairen said: "Strong purgation is needed." He instructed Ma to take 150 pills of Zhouche Wan and 3-4 qian of Tongjing San before sleep. By midnight, fourteen rows of stool were passed, the swelling disappeared instantly, and the skin wrinkled like a walnut shell, thinner than the uninjured leg. He was told not to apply plasters, allowing toxic qi to discharge as pus and blood. The next day, fearing incomplete detoxification, another 100+ pills of Zhouche Wan and 3-4 qian of Xunchuan San were taken, resulting in six rows of stool. The patient asked: "Why was passing fourteen rows easier than six?" Dairen replied: "When the disease is strong, it overcomes the medicine; when the disease weakens, it cannot withstand the medicine." After six days, the pus cleared. He was advised not to fear wind during discharge, but to avoid it afterwards. Yu Feng Bingzi was taken three times daily. Two days later, Shengji San was applied once, forming a scab. Alas! The dosage makes a vast difference. Without meeting Dairen, the saying 'pain decreases with purgation' would seem false. This shows the difficulty of medicine, and even greater difficulty in applying it. (Dairen is Zhang Zihe.)
For bites from mad dogs or venomous snakes, simply apply human feces to the wound; fresh feces are best. No other medicine compares. (Chu Jishi, from *Yanbu Outan*)
Chan Jiang Huai had his nose bitten off by a donkey. A monk used hair sealed in a jar with salt mud, burned it, powdered it, and urgently dabbed the nose in the ash to reattach it, binding it with soft silk. Effective. For fallen ears or noses, this method is also effective. (From *Yixue Gangmu*)
Xue Lizhai treated a man bitten by a dog, with severe pain and nausea. He instructed urgent suction of toxic blood, followed by garlic-separated moxibustion on the site for several moxa cones, stopping the pain. Taie Gao was applied, and Yuzhen San was administered, leading to recovery.
A man bitten by a mad dog presented with locked jaw and unconsciousness. Urgent needle drainage of toxic blood and garlic-separated moxibustion revived him after some time. Taie Gao was applied, and Yuzhen San was given twice, showing slight improvement. Then, Jieshu San was given twice for full recovery. For severe cases, Suhexiang Wan should be forced first, followed by decoctions.
*Zhenjiu Jing* states: Waixiu point treats rabid dog bites. If fever and chills occur, quickly moxa three cones, then moxa the bite site for immediate cure. In late spring and early summer, if bitten by a rabid dog, peace comes after a hundred days. Lifelong abstinence from dog meat and silkworm pupae is required, as consumption causes relapse that is incurable. Remove bad blood first, moxa the bite ten times, then one cone daily thereafter for a hundred days. Avoid alcohol for seven days. Drink 1-2 cups of crushed leek juice. Another method: suck out bad blood, moxa the bite 100 times, highly effective.
For snakes entering the seven orifices, urgently moxa the snake's tail. Another method: cut the snake's tail slightly, insert seven Sichuan peppercorns, and the snake will exit. Immediately mix realgar and cinnabar powder in ginseng decoction and administer to resolve internal toxicity. Mountain dwellers bitten by snakes should wash the bite with urine, dry it, and moxa it for immediate effect. Another method: place slices of single-clove garlic on the wound, moxa on top of the garlic, changing the garlic every three cones. More moxa is better.
Lizhai treated Chen Jian from Junyuguan, stung by a scorpion on the hand. Bruised pain penetrated the heart, spreading to the armpit within moments, accompanied by chills, fever, stiffness, headache, and nausea. This was due to the struggle between pathogenic and healthy Qi. Feilong Duoming Dan was applied, and painkillers given, but neither worked. Garlic-separated moxibustion was then used, resulting in a cure. Xue's mother and Xue himself had been stung similarly; moxibustion stopped the pain immediately. Xue's mother was also injured by a centipede on her finger and healed with the same method. For injuries from centipedes and similar toxins, this treatment is universally effective. Materia Medica states garlic treats sores and toxins, having the power to revive the dying.
A hunter's leg was bitten by a wild wolf, causing severe pain. Ruxiang Dingtong San was ineffective. Considering the injury was in the lower yin area where Qi and Blood stagnate, making drug efficacy difficult, garlic-separated moxibustion was performed for over fifty cones, eliminating the bruised pain. Toli medicines and plasters were applied for recovery.
Student Wang was bitten on the leg by a rabid dog, with pain spreading to the thigh instantly. The next day, his jaw locked. Yuzhen San failed. Garlic-separated moxibustion for thirty-plus cones revived him. Recovery followed with Yuzhen San and Toli detoxifying medicines.
Lizhai's father once had an insect enter his ear while sleeping, causing painful dizziness. Ginger was rubbed on a cat's nose to induce urination. Cat urine was dropped into the ear, expelling the insect and curing the pain. Also, Hundred户 Zhang Jin claimed to have an ear sore causing intermittent agonizing pain, but his pulse was calm. During conversation, pain struck suddenly. Suspecting an insect, he was sent home to urgently get cat urine for the ear. A smelly bug emerged, and pain ceased. Applying sesame oil kills the bug but makes removal difficult. Sleeping on fried sesame seeds also expels insects but slower than cat urine. (This case is also recorded in Ear Gate, not a duplicate. Fear that patients might not realize it is an insect and skip searching ear sections.)
*Hua Tuo Biography*: Madam Pengcheng of Pengcheng went to the toilet at night and was stung on the hand by a earwig. She groaned helplessly. Hua Tuo instructed her to soak her hand in warm, near-boiling water, allowing her to sleep. Attendants frequently changed the water, keeping it warm. She was cured by morning. (From *Records of the Three Kingdoms*)
A monk suffered from a snake bite, with one foot ulcerating. Hundreds of medicines failed. A wandering monk washed the decay with several buckets of fresh water until white tendons were visible, drained it, and sprinkled a mixture of Angelica dahurica powder, alum, and a little musk. Foul fluid gushed out daily. After one month, he recovered. (From *Qiji Fang*)
Su Taoguang stayed at Kuixing Pavilion outside Wunv City. Someone wrote a formula on the wall claiming it cures all insect bites miraculously. Su used it repeatedly with success. The formula uses Fritillaria powder mixed with wine, drunk by the patient as much as possible. If unable to drink, stop. Soon, liquid flows out from the wound. When flow stops, stuff the wound with Fritillaria powder for cure. Even if clinically dead, if there is faint breath and swallowing is possible, administration leads to life. Miraculous effects beyond words. (From *Jicheng*)
Late Chongning era: Longxi soldiers stood barefoot in a hall during midsummer heat and were bitten by earthworms, leading to death. Days later, others were poisoned similarly. Learned individuals taught drinking a cup of salt water first, then soaking feet in salt water the next day, resulting in cure.
*Tan Shi Fang* treats spider bites causing widespread sores. Take one green onion, remove the tip, make a hole, insert an earthworm, pinch both ends tightly without leaking air, shake until it turns to water. Drip this water on the bite for cure. (Materia Medica)
Sun Simiao, in the sixth month of Wude era, suffered from earwig urine disease. After five or six days, persistent heart oppression remained despite other treatments. Someone taught drawing an earwig shape on the ground, carefully scraping soil from the belly of a live earwig, mixing it with saliva into mud, and applying it repeatedly for cure. Only then did he understand the mutual resonance of all things in the world, though the reason remained unknown. (From *Qianjin Fang*)
Lizhai treated a man with dog bite causing cyanosis and pain. Radish juice mixed with Gardenia powder was applied. Siwu Tang added with Bupleurum, Scutellaria, Trichosanthes root, and Pangolin scales was given for two doses, showing slight improvement. Then, Tuoli San added with Rehmannia, Bupleurum, and Safflower was given for several doses until suppuration. Finally, Tuoli and Spleen-strengthening medicines led to recovery.
Ma Mingju transmitted a formula for centipede bites: Slugs applied stop pain instantly, tested many times with miraculous effect. Another method: Burn the head of an old bamboo rib in fire until black, take a little, grind fine, and apply to the site for instant cure. (From *Guang Biji*)
