【予脂】
有毒。主治风邪引起的肿胀,痈疽毒疮,瘾疹(皮肤出现红色或苍白色风团,伴瘙痒),赤瘙疥(皮肤红肿瘙痒、生疥癣),痔疮,皮肤顽固性麻木不仁,跌打骨折损伤,肌肉受损及瘀血。使用方法是将动物脂肪涂抹于患处,用手加热后按摩,药力即可渗透。产于岭南地区,形状像蛇头鳖身。《广州记》记载:予,蛇头鳖身,既生活在水中,也栖息在树上,俗称“予膏”,主治水蛭叮咬。用铜器或瓦器盛装,浸泡后可渗出油脂。只有用鸡卵壳盛装才不会泄漏。按摩治疗毒气肿大非常有效,其穿透力比醍醐(酥酪中的精华)还要强。
【鼷鼠】
有毒。能杀死飞禽走兽,制作“射罔”(一种毒药)时需要加入它。人们也活捉鼷鼠放在枕头下,据说能让夫妻感情和睦。产于砂石之中,会钻出旋转状的孔洞,体内有像大豆大小的虫子,背部有刺,能够倒退行走,又名“倒行狗子”。性情喜欢睡觉,也被称为“睡虫”,各地都有。
【鼷鼠肉/胆等部位】
大寒。主治眼睛和皮肤发红发热疼痛。取大的鼷鼠洗净,切开,让汁液滴入眼中,即使是三十年的眼疾红肿也能治愈。
【鼷鼠雌雄关系】
这两种生物(指鼷鼠及其体内的虫或相关物)虽不同类却同穴居住,分为雄雌,能使人产生爱意。五月五日采集,夫妻佩戴在身上。
【螽斯】
螽斯像蝗虫,东方人称之为“舴艋”,有毒,有黑斑的螽斯,要在它们交配时捕捉。
【陶家虫/灰】
能让人喜好相爱。出产于岭南陶家,颜色像青灰色粉末。当地人用竹筒盛装,说是蛲虫(蛲,音huí,即蛔虫一类的寄生虫)所排泄的灰烬,用来擦拭物品都可以。这种虫喜欢损害小儿、鸡、狗等,如果不把它放在家中,就不清楚这件事的真假虚实。
【甲虫】
功效与前面所述相同,人们取来佩戴。这种甲虫背部呈正绿色,翅膀藏在甲壳下面。出产于岭南的宾州、澄州。
【褐色扁虫】
一作某字(原文缺省)。功效与前面相同,人们取来佩戴。形状像KT盘(此处疑为古籍传抄异体或特定器物名,暂保留原意描述),褐色,身体扁平。出产于岭南,人们很重视它。
【食人虫/沙虱等】
有毒。吃人和牛、马等的皮肤导致生疮,直到死亡都不觉得痛。这种虫极细小,不能立刻看见。《尔雅》记载:有一种毒虫,吃人直到尽处人都不知道。《左传》说:是吃祭品牛角的那种虫。《博物志》记载:吃死人皮肤的虫,让人患恶疮,大多数是这种虫吃的。治疗这种方法,应当用狸猫(野猫)的脂肪按摩患处以及食用狸猫的肉。凡是正月里吃老鼠,残存部分多为鼠肉,小孔下出血的,就是这种病所致。
[Preparation of Yu Fat]
Toxic. Indicated for wind-induced swelling, carbuncles and toxic sores, urticaria (skin eruptions with red or pale wheals accompanied by itching), erythematous pruritus and scabies, hemorrhoids, stubborn numbness of the skin, traumatic fractures and injuries, muscle damage, and blood stasis. Application method: Apply the fat to the affected area, warm the hands by rubbing them together until hot, and massage the area; the medicinal effect will penetrate immediately. It is produced in the Lingnan region. Its appearance resembles a snake's head and a turtle's body. The "Guangzhou Ji" records: "Yu" has a snake's head and a turtle's body; it lives both in water and on trees. It is commonly called "Yu Gao" (Yu Paste) and is indicated for leech bites. It should be stored in copper or earthenware vessels, from which the oil can be extracted. Only chicken eggshells prevent leakage when used as containers. Massaging this substance for toxic swelling is highly effective; its penetrating power exceeds that of Tihu (the essence of clarified butter).
[Xi Shu (Small Mouse)]
Toxic. It can kill birds and beasts. It is used in the preparation of She Wang (a type of poison). People also catch Xi Shu alive and place it under pillows, believing it promotes harmony between husband and wife. It is found among sand and rocks, where it creates spiral holes. Inside are insects the size of soybeans, with spines on their backs, capable of moving backward. They are also known as "Dao Xing Gou Zi" (Back-walking Dog). They have a strong tendency to sleep and are also called "Shui Chong" (Sleeping Insect); they are found everywhere.
[Parts of Xi Shu]
Greatly cold in nature. Indicated for redness, heat, and pain in the eyes and skin. Take a large Xi Shu, wash it thoroughly, cut it open, and let the juice drip into the eyes. Even chronic redness of the skin lasting thirty years can be cured.
[Mating Habits]
These two entities (referring to the mouse and its associated parasite or related matter), though of different species, inhabit the same burrow and are distinguished as male and female; wearing them is believed to foster affection between people. Collected on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, they should be worn by couples.
[Zhong Si (Katydids)]
Zhong Si resembles locusts. People in the East call them "Ze Meng." They are toxic. Those with black spots should be caught during their mating period.
[Tao Jia Worm/Ash]
It fosters fondness and mutual affection. It originates from Tao Jia in Lingnan and appears as a bluish-gray powder. Locals store it in bamboo tubes, claiming it is the ash excreted by Nuo worms (Nuo, pronounced 'hui', refers to roundworm-like parasites). This ash can be used to wipe objects. These worms tend to harm children, chickens, and dogs. If not kept in the home, the veracity of these claims remains unknown.
[Beetle]
The efficacy is the same as described above. People take it to wear. This beetle has a bright green back and wings concealed beneath its elytra. It is produced in Bin Zhou and Cheng Zhou in Lingnan.
[Brown Flat Beetle]
Also referred to as [Character missing]. The efficacy is the same as above; people take it to wear. It resembles a KT pan, is brownish in color, and has a flat body. It is produced in Lingnan and is highly valued by people.
[Eating Insect/Sand Mite]
Toxic. It eats the skin of humans, cattle, horses, etc., causing ulcers, and the victim may die without feeling pain. This insect is extremely fine and cannot be seen immediately. The "Er Ya" states: "There is a poisonous insect that eats people away until nothing is left, yet the person does not know." The "Zuo Zhuan" says: "It is the insect that eats the horns of sacrificial oxen." The "Bao Wu Zhi" states: "Insects that eat dead human skin cause malignant ulcers; most cases are caused by this insect." The treatment method involves massaging the affected area with cat (Li Mao) fat and consuming cat meat. Whenever mice are eaten in the first lunar month, if the remnants are mostly mouse flesh and bleeding occurs from small holes, this indicates the disease caused by such insects.
