Vegetables may contain *Hyoscyamus niger* (Shuilangdang, 水莨菪), which has round and smooth leaves and is toxic. Accidental ingestion causes madness resembling wind-stroke or hematemesis. Treatment involves decocting Gancao (Licorice Root) and drinking the juice to detoxify.
In spring and autumn, dragons deposit essence into celery. Accidental consumption by humans causes a disease named Jiaolong Bing (Dragon-Jelly Disease). During attacks, hands turn blue, and the abdomen becomes distended with unbearable pain. Treatment involves taking 2-3 sheng of Yitang (Maltose) twice daily. Recovery occurs upon vomiting out 3-5 lizard-like objects.
For poisoning from eating bitter gourds (*Lagenaria siceraria* var. *amara*), treat with Shurang (Straw of Millet), decocted and drunk to resolve toxicity.
For food poisoning causing irritability and fullness, treat with Kushen (Radix Sophorae Flavescentis) 3 liang and Kujiu (Vinegar) 1.5 sheng. Boil briefly, allowing it to boil up and down three times. Drink; vomiting the food leads to recovery. Water decoction is also acceptable. Xijiao Tang (Rhinoceros Horn Decoction) also resolves toxicity.
For gluttony leading to indigestion, with hard, distended, and painful heart and abdomen, treat with 1 sheng of salt and 3 sheng of water. Boil until the salt dissolves, divide into three doses. Vomiting the food leads to recovery.
To treat poisoning from Yu Rou (Meat covered in sealed vessels for over night) and Lou Fu (Meat wetted by leaking roof water): Burn dog feces, take with wine using a Fangcunbi measure; or drink human breast milk; or drink 2-3 sheng of Leek Juice, which is also effective. "Yu Rou" refers to meat covered in airtight containers left overnight. "Lou Fu" refers to meat exposed to leaks from thatched roofs.
For poisoning from liver jerky stored among millet or grain: Drink several sheng of thick Soybean Juice to resolve toxicity. This also treats toxicity from狸肉 (Wild Cat Meat) and Lou Fu.

Another method: drinking Douchi (Fermented Soybean) juice several sheng is good.

For poisoning from horse liver or beef: Mix Renru (Human Breast Milk) with thick Douchi juice and drink; this is miraculous.
For horse liver poisoning where the patient is not yet dead: Take 14 grains of Xiongshushi (Male Rat Feces), powder them, mix with water, and drink. Take twice daily. (Use the tip end of the feces.) Also, taking one Fangcunbi of human filth is good.
For near-fatal poisoning from horse meat: Steam Xiangchi (Fragrant Fermented Soybeans) 2 liang and Xingren (Apricot Seeds) 3 liang together for the duration of one meal. Pound cooked mixture and take, twice daily. Another method: decocting Lugen (Reed Rhizome) juice and drinking it is good.

Cut Niuxi (Achyranthes Root) finely, decoct in 1 dou of water to obtain 1 sheng, drink to resolve toxicity. To identify beef bitten by snakes, hairs lie flat backwards.
Meat of birds or beasts killed by poisoned arrows is toxic. Drinking Soybean decoction or Indigo juice resolves toxicity.
For Pufferfish (Hetun) poisoning: Equal parts of Wubeizi (Galla Chinensis) and Baijian (Alum), powdered, mixed with water and taken.
For acute, critical poisoning from Pufferfish when no medicine is available: Pour large amounts of clear oil into the mouth to induce vomiting of all toxins.

For poisoning from accidentally drinking water contaminated by mating snakes: Chen Zhailang, from Anji, Huzhou, drank stream water while wading in spring due to thirst. Days later, he felt slight abdominal pain, which worsened over time. The physician diagnosed poison affecting the heart and spleen, severely damaging heart pulses. Chen recalled drinking stream water last spring. The physician stated he ingested snake excrement in the stream, which formed a snake in his abdomen, feeding on his heart causing pain. He administered realgar (Xionghuang) mixed with water, and expelled several moving red snakes. For accidental swallowing of centipedes: Have the patient drink fresh chicken blood, then pour clear oil into the mouth to roll out the centipede in the blood. Follow with fine realgar powder mixed with water to cure.

First decoct the two roots in one bowl of water until reduced to 70%, strain, then add the latter two ingredients, mix well, and divide into three doses. If diarrhea of foul matter occurs after one or two doses, do not take further.
Fengcao Yin (Powdered Licorice Drink): For any drug poisoning, eat several raw black soybeans. If they smell fishy, it is not poisoning. If there is vomiting, restlessness, and irritability, take medicine extremely cold to resolve it. Gancao (Raw, 1 liang), Baijian (Raw, 0.5 liang), Yanhusuo (Corydalis Rhizome, 1 liang). Finely cut, take 0.5 qian per dose, decoct in one cup of water until reduced to 60%, strain, cool, and sip slowly.
Resolving all drug, grass, and livestock meat poisonings: Use Baiddou (White Hyacinth Bean), dried raw, powdered, taken with fresh well-water, 2-3 Fangcunbi doses.
Resolving drug poison: Wang Zhongli, addicted to alcohol, developed sores on his nose extending to the throat in his youth. Medicines failed. Monk Famàn prescribed Heshouwu Wan (Polygonum Multiflorum Pill), requiring 2 jin. A grave digger recognized the herb, dug it up. The method forbade iron tools; it was steamed with black soybeans in a clay mortar. The resulting pill was fragrant. Applying the steaming water paste caused intense heat, then numbness, and severe swelling of face and eyes by evening. Wang's mother Gao said wind-leprosy accumulates over time, but this poison shouldn't cause such severity. She cited Shan Dogen (Sophora Root), Chixiaodou (Adzuki Bean), Heigafan (Black Clam Powder), and Shengjiangzhi (Ginger Juice). Servants were ordered to crush ginger juice and apply the powder mixture. Swelling subsided by midnight, resolved by morning. The error was impure Heshouwu contaminated with Yelangdu (Wolfbane).
Resolving overdose toxicity: For excessive Aizi (Aconite) wine causing heavy head and cracked lips with bleeding: Chew Heidou (Black Soybeans) and Lv dou (Mung Beans) and drink their thick decoctions. For excessive Wind-dispelling drugs causing confusion and unconsciousness: Pour vinegar and drink thick Gancao (Licorice) decoction with fresh Ginger Juice. Another method: Fine Luqing (Turquoise), mixed with fresh well-water.
