果子生食。生疮。
〔程〕诸果之实。皆成于夏秋。禀湿热之性。食之故令生疮。
果子落地经宿。虫蚁食之者。人大忌食之。
〔程〕落地经宿。则果坏。虫蚁食之。则果毒。在人大忌食之。令人患九漏。
生米。停留多日。有损处。食之伤人。
〔程〕有损处。谓为虫鼠所食。皆有毒。故伤人。
桃子。多食令人热。仍不得入水浴。令人病淋沥寒热病。（沈无寒字。程金鉴。作寒热淋沥病。并非。）
〔程〕桃实。酸甘辛。生于春则味酸。成于夏则酸甘。成于秋则酸辛。其性热。故多食令人热也。若
多食。而入水浴。则酸味不得内泄。多令人癃。水寒之气。因而外客。故令人寒热也。
案淋沥。寒热连绵不已之谓。肘后云。尸注。大略使人寒热淋沥。恍恍默默。不的知其所苦。又外台云。劳极之病。
吴楚谓之淋沥是也。程及金鉴。以为癃误。千金。黄帝云。饱食桃。入水浴。成淋病。此是别义。
杏酪不熟。伤人。（金鉴。一云。杀人。）
〔程〕古人。杏酪。以酒蜜酿成。亦有甘草生姜汁熬成者。以杏仁有毒。半生半熟。皆能害人也。今
人另有制法。案杏酪。一名杏酥。藏器云。服之润五脏。去痰嗽。生熟吃俱可。
若半生半熟。服之杀人。金鉴。为杏酪二物误。
梅多食。坏人齿。（千金食治同。）
〔程〕梅实。能致津液。津液出则骨伤。以肾主五液。齿
为肾之标故也。（案时珍发明。详论此理。程注本之。当参考。）
案本草。食梅齿 者。嚼胡桃肉解之。盖胡桃补肾也。
李不可多食。令人胪胀。
〔鉴〕李味酸涩。若多食。则中气不舒。故令人腹胀。
林檎。不可多食。令人百脉弱。（千金同。）
〔程〕林檎。酸涩而闭百脉。故多食。令人百脉弱。
橘柚。多食。令人口爽不知五味。
〔程〕橘柚。味酸能恋膈。生痰聚饮。饮聚膈上。则令口痰不知咳。
〔鉴〕尚书注。小曰橘。大曰柚。二者其味皆酸。而性寒。若过食则口虽爽。而五味不知焉。
案时珍云。橘皮。下气消痰。其肉生痰聚饮。表里之异
如此。程注本之。但爽字未妥。案尔雅释言。爽。瘥也。忒也。老子。五味令人口爽。乃为口失味之义。
梨不可多食。令人寒中。金疮产妇。亦不宜食。（千金云。金疮产妇。勿食。令人萎困寒中。）
〔程〕梨性大寒。故令人寒中。寒能凝血脉。故金疮产妇。不宜食。
樱桃。杏。多食。伤筋骨。
〔鉴〕樱桃。杏。味酸性寒。若过食则伤筋骨。内经云。酸则伤筋。寒主伤骨。故伤筋骨。
安石榴。不可多食。损人肺。（肺。徐沈作腹。千金。与原文同。）
〔鉴〕安石榴。味酸涩。酸涩则气滞。肺主气。宜利而不宜滞。滞则伤损矣。故不可过食也。
本草。震亨云。榴者。留也。其汁酸。性滞恋成痰。
胡桃。不可多食。令人动痰饮。（千金云。动痰饮。令人恶心吐水吐食。）
〔程〕胡桃。能润肺消痰。今令人动痰饮。何也。以胡桃性热。多食则煎熬津液。而为痰饮矣。
生枣。多食令人。热渴气胀寒热。羸瘦者。弥不可食。伤人。（千金。食治方。）
〔程〕生枣。味甘辛气热。以辛热则令人渴。甘则令人气
胀也。羸弱者。内热必盛。而脾胃必虚。故弥不可食。
食诸果中毒。治之方。
猪骨（烧过○过赵作灰金鉴二字作 黑）
上一味。末之。水服方寸匕。○亦治马肝漏脯等毒。
〔程〕猪骨。治诸果毒。亦治马肝漏脯毒。其义不可晓。
〔鉴〕以猪骨治果子毒。物性相制使然。治马
肝毒者。以猪畜属水。马畜属火。此水克火之义也。治漏脯毒者。亦骨肉相感之义也。
木耳赤色。及仰生者勿食。○菌仰卷。及赤色者。不可食。（证类。引金匮玉函。耳下赤字。作青。）
〔程〕木耳诸菌。皆覆卷。仰卷则变异。色赤则有毒。故不可食。
食诸菌中毒。闷乱欲死。治之方。
人粪汁。饮一升。土浆。饮一二升。
大豆。浓煮汁饮之。服诸吐利药。并解。
〔鉴〕李 曰。闷乱欲死。毒在胃也。服吐利药。并解使毒瓦斯上下分消也。
巢源云。凡园圃所种之菜。本无毒。但蕈菌等物。皆是草木变化所生。出于树者为蕈。生于地者为菌。
并是郁蒸湿气。变化所生。故或有毒者。人食遇此毒。多致死甚疾速。其不死者。犹能令烦闷吐利。良久始醒。
千金。治食山中树菌中毒方。
人屎汁。服一升良。
又解诸菌毒。

煮讫照人无影者。上有毛下无纹者。仰卷赤色者。并有毒杀人。中其毒者。地浆及粪清解之。
宋周密癸辛杂识云。嘉定乙亥岁。杨和王坟上感慈庵僧德明。游山得奇菌。归作糜供家。毒发。僧行死
者十余人。德明亟尝粪获免。有日本僧定心者。宁死不污。至肤理坼裂而死。
清吴林吴蕈谱云。镜水忍可禅师。在宁国山中。一日与僧三四人。食蕈俱中毒。刹那间二便频遗。身
软口 。正窘急时。 有市药者上山。僧众言其故。随以甘草浓煎灌之。同时获愈。又阳山西花巷有人在一
荒墩上。采菌一丛。煮而食之。卒然毒发。肤如琉璃。使人往采蕈处察之。见菌丛生如故。即掘见一古冢。满
中是蛇。即以甘草煎汤啜之。寻愈。故余每于腊月中粪坑内。浸甘草人中黄。以治蕈毒。及天行
疫毒。伏气热病。痘科毒甚不能贯浆者。悉有神效。（其法。用甘草为末。将毛竹筒一段。两头留节。刮去青
皮。节上开一窍。纳甘草于中。仍以芭蕉叶柄削针闭窍。浸粪坑中。四十九日。须至立春日取出阴干。任用。）
食枫树菌。而笑不止。治之以前方。（树。笑。并原本作柱哭。今据程本金鉴改之。）
〔程〕弘景曰。枫木上生者。令人笑不止。以地浆解之。
〔鉴〕李 曰。心主笑。笑不止。是毒瓦斯入心也。
张氏医说云。四明温台间山谷。多生菌。然种类不一。食之间有中毒。往往至杀人者。盖蛇毒瓦斯所熏
蒸也。有僧教掘地。以冷水搅之令浊。少顷取饮者。皆得全活。此方见本草。陶隐居注。谓之地浆。亦治枫
树菌。食之笑不止。俗言食笑菌者。居山间。不可不知此法。案陶谷清异录云。菌蕈。有一种。食之令人得
干笑疾。士人戏呼为笑矣乎。此间无枫树。然间有食菌而笑不已者。此岂所谓笑矣乎者耶。
误食野芋。烦毒欲死。治之方。（〔原注〕以前方。其野芋根。山东人名魁芋。人种芋三年不收。
亦成野芋。并杀人。）
〔程〕野芋三年不收。又名 芋。味辛冷有毒。只可敷摩疮肿。人若食之。中其毒。土浆。
豆汁。粪汁。俱可解也。
本草陶弘景云。野芋形叶与芋相似。芋种三年不采。成 （音吕）芋。并能杀人。误食之。烦闷
垂死者。惟以土浆及粪汁大豆汁饮之。则活矣。程注摩敷疮肿。出于时珍。
蜀椒闭口者有毒。误食之。戟人咽喉。气病欲绝。或吐下白沫。身体痹冷。急治之方。（
病。肘后。作便。外台作戟人咽。使不得出气。便欲绝。肘后。下字无。）
肉桂煎汁饮之。（肘后无肉字）多饮冷水一二升。（肘后多作若外台同）
或食蒜。（肘后作大蒜）或饮地浆。（肘后云慎不可饮热杀人）
或浓煮豉汁饮之。并解。（外台。引肘后云。又急饮酢。又食椒不可饮热。饮热杀人。）
〔程〕蜀椒气大热。有毒。味辛麻。闭口者毒更甚。辛则戟人咽喉。麻则令人吐下白沫。身体痹冷也。
冷水。地浆。豉汁。寒凉能解热毒。其桂蒜大热。而肘后诸方。亦云。解椒毒。不知其义。岂因其气欲绝。
身体冷痹而用耶。
〔鉴〕如桂与蒜。皆大辛大热之物。通血脉辟邪秽。以热治热。是从治之法也。
正月勿食生葱。令人面生游风。
〔程〕正月甲木始生。人气始发。葱能走头面。而通阳气。反引风邪。而病头面。故令生游风。
案游风。未详。千金。头面风鸱头酒。治风头眩转。面上游风方。又菊花散。治头面游风方。又本事方。
知母汤。治游风攻头面。或四肢作肿块。此似指头风眩运。又千金。面药门。有治面上风方。即指鼻 等。
此云生游风。则当是鼻 面 粉刺等之谓。
二月勿食蓼。伤人肾。
〔程〕扁鹊云。食蓼。损髓少气减精。二月木正旺。若食蓼以伤肾水。则木不生。故二月勿食。
三月勿食小蒜。伤人志性。（千金。黄帝云。）
〔程〕小蒜。辛热有毒。三月为阳气长养之时。不可食此夺气伤神之物。
四月八月。勿食胡荽。伤人神。
〔程〕胡荽。荤菜也。辛芳之气。损人精神。四月心火正
旺。八月肺将敛。以心藏神。而肺藏魄。食此走散之物。必能伤神也。
五月。勿食韭。令人乏气力。
〔程〕韭菜。春食则香。夏食则臭。脾恶臭而主四肢。是以令人乏气力。
案春香夏臭。出于寇宗 。
五月五日。勿食一切生菜。发百病。（千金。黄帝云。）
〔程〕五月五日。为天中节。为纯阳日。人当养阳以顺令节。若食生菜。则伐天和。故生百病。
六月七月。勿食茱萸。伤神气。（千金。引黄帝。气下。有起伏气三字。）
〔程〕六七月。阳气尽发。吴茱萸辛热。辛能走气。故伤神气。
八月九月。勿食姜。伤人神。
〔程〕八九月。人气收敛。姜味辛发。食之则伤神也。云笈七签曰。九月食生姜。成痼疾。孙真人曰。
八九月。食姜。至春多患眼。损筋力。减寿。朱晦庵有秋姜夭人天年之语。谓其辛走气泻肺也。
案秋不食姜。令人泻气。出于本纲李杲之说。
十月勿食椒。损人心。伤心脉。（千金。黄帝云。案自正月止于勿食椒。外台引仲景方。）
〔程〕内经曰。九月十月。人气在心。椒能走气伤心。故伤心脉。
十一月十二月。勿食薤。令人多涕唾。
〔程〕薤白。气味冷滑。能引涕唾。非独十一月十二月然也。
四季勿食生葵。令人饮食不化。发百病。非但食中。药中皆不可用。深宜慎之。
〔程〕脾王四季。生葵冷滑。非脾所宜。发病之物。药饵中。皆不宜也。
时病瘥未健。食生菜。手足必肿。（千金引黄帝。必下。有青字。）
〔程〕时病。热病也。热病所瘥。而脾胃尚弱。食生菜。则伤脾。故令手足浮肿。
夜食生菜。不利人。
〔程〕夜食生菜。则易停留而难转化。不利于人也。
十月勿食被霜生菜。令人面无光。目涩心痛腰疼。或发心疟。疟发时。
手足十指爪皆青。困委。（千金。黄帝云。）
〔程〕道藏云。六阴之月。万物至此归根复命。以待来复。不可食寒冷。以伐天和。生菜性冷。
经霜则寒。寒冷之物。能损阳气。食之能发上证。
素刺疟论云。心疟者。令人烦心。甚欲得清水。反寒多。不甚热。刺手少阴。三因云。病者心烦。欲
饮清水。反寒多。不甚热。乍来乍去。以喜伤心。心气耗散所致。名曰心疟。
葱韭初生芽者。食之伤人心气。
〔程〕萌芽含抑郁之气未伸。食之能伤心气。
饮白酒。食生韭。令人病增。
〔鉴〕酒多湿。韭性热。湿热相合。令人病增。
生葱。不可共蜜食之。杀人。独颗蒜弥忌。
〔程〕孙真人曰。葱同蜜食。令人利下。独蒜。气味辛臭。与蜜更不宜也。
案本草思邈曰。烧葱同蜜食。壅气杀人。又云。大蒜。合蜜食杀人。
枣。合生葱食之。令人病。
〔程〕枣与葱食。令人五脏不和。
〔鉴〕此义未详。
生葱。和雄鸡。雉。白犬肉食之。令人七窍经年流血。
〔鉴〕李 曰。此皆生风发火之物。若合食则血气更淖溢不和。故七窍流血。
食糖蜜。后四日内。食生葱韭。令人心痛。（韭。赵作蒜。）
〔程〕蜜。与葱韭蒜。皆相反。虽食蜜后四日内。尤忌之。相犯仍令人心痛。
千金黄帝云。食生葱。即啖蜜。变作下利。食烧葱。并啖蜜。拥气而死。案糖。说文饴也。方言。饧
谓之糖。明是糖与蜜各别。程金鉴。言蜜。而不及糖何。
夜食诸姜蒜葱等。伤人心。
〔程〕人之气。昼行于阳。而夜行于阴。夜食辛物。以扰乎阳。则伤上焦心膈之阳气也。
芜菁根。多食。令人气胀。（千金同。）
〔程〕芜菁。即蔓菁也。多食动气。
案多食动气。出于宗 。
薤。不可共牛肉作羹食之。成瘕病。韭亦然。（千金。黄帝云。）
〔程〕薤韭牛肉。皆难克化之物。积而不消。则为 瘕。
多食。动痔疾。（食。原本。沈。作病。非。今改之。千金同。）
〔程〕李廷飞曰。 性滑。故发痔疾。
〔鉴〕滑而易下。故发痔疾。
野苣。不可同蜜食之。作内痔。（千金。引黄帝。无内字。本纲。引本经。作肉痔。）
〔程〕野苣。苦 也。性苦寒。能治痔。与蜜同食。复生内痔。物性相忌。则易其性也。
白苣。不可共酪同食。作 虫。（千金。引黄帝。无 字。）
〔程〕白苣苦寒。乳酪甘寒。合食停于胃中。则生蚀 。
时珍云。白苣处处有之。似莴苣而叶色白。折之有白汁。四月开黄花。如苦 结子。
黄瓜。食之发热病。
果实生吃。会引发疮疡。
〔程〕各种果实的成熟都在夏秋季节，禀受湿热之性，食用后会导致生疮。
果实落地过夜，被虫蚁啃食过的，人非常忌讳食用。
〔程〕落地过夜，果实就会腐败；被虫蚁啃食，果实就会产生毒素，人非常忌讳食用，这会让人患上“九漏”病。
生米，存放多日且有损坏的，食用后会伤害人体。
〔程〕有损坏的地方，是指被虫鼠啃食的部分，都有毒性，所以伤害人体。
桃子，多吃会让人体内发热，并且不能下水洗澡，否则会患上淋沥寒热病。（沈无“寒”字，程金鉴改为“寒热淋沥病”，并不恰当。）
〔程〕桃实，味酸、甘、辛，春天生长时味酸，夏天成熟时味酸甘，秋天成熟时味酸辛，其性热，所以多吃会让人发热。如果多吃后去洗澡，酸味无法在内发散，容易让人患癃闭症；水寒之气从外部侵袭，所以让人出现寒热症状。案语：淋沥，指寒热连绵不断。《肘后备急方》说：尸注病，大体使人寒热淋沥，恍惚默默，不知痛苦所在。又《外台秘要》说：劳极之病，吴楚地区称为淋沥。程及金鉴认为是“癃”字误写，《千金方》中黄帝说：饱食桃子后入水洗澡，会形成淋病，这是另一种解释。
杏酪如果不熟，会伤害人体。（金鉴说：一说会杀人。）
〔程〕古人的杏酪，是用酒和蜂蜜酿制而成的，也有用甘草和生姜汁熬制的，因为杏仁有毒，半生半熟都会害人。现在人有另外的制作方法。案语：杏酪，又名杏酥，藏器说：服用它能滋润五脏，去除痰嗽，生吃熟吃都可以。如果是半生半熟，服用会杀人。金鉴认为是将杏和酪两物混淆了。
梅子多吃，会损害牙齿。（《千金食治》相同。）
〔程〕梅实，能促使津液分泌，津液流出则伤骨，因为肾主五液，齿为肾的外候，所以如此。（案语：李时珍对此理有详细论述，程注本于此，应当参考。）
案语：《本草》记载，吃梅子导致牙齿不适的，嚼胡桃肉可以解除，因为胡桃补肾。
李子不可多吃，会让人腹部胀满。
〔鉴〕李子味道酸涩，如果多吃，中气不舒畅，所以让人腹胀。
林檎（苹果），不可多吃，会让全身经脉虚弱。（《千金方》相同。）
〔程〕林檎，味酸涩且收敛闭塞经脉，所以多吃会让人经脉虚弱。
橘子和柚子，多吃会让人味觉失灵，不知五味。
〔程〕橘子和柚子，味酸能留恋胸膈，生痰聚饮，饮邪聚集在胸膈上，就会导致口中发腻不知咳嗽（此处原文可能有误，结合下文应为不知味）。
〔鉴〕《尚书》注解说：小的叫橘，大的叫柚，这两种味道都酸，性质寒凉，如果过食，虽然口爽利，却不知五味。
案语：李时珍说：橘皮能下气消痰，橘肉生痰聚饮，表里性质差异如此。程注本于此，但“爽”字用得不太妥当。案语：《尔雅·释言》说：爽，是差失的意思。《老子》说：五味令人口爽，就是口失味的意思。
梨不可多吃，会让人脾胃虚寒。金创患者和产妇，也不宜食用。（《千金方》说：金创患者和产妇，不要食用，会让人萎困、脾胃虚寒。）
〔程〕梨性大寒，所以让人脾胃虚寒。寒性能凝滞血脉，所以金创患者和产妇不宜食用。
樱桃、杏，多吃，会损伤筋骨。
〔鉴〕樱桃、杏，味道酸寒，如果过食则损伤筋骨。《内经》说：酸味伤筋，寒性伤骨，所以损伤筋骨。
安石榴，不可多吃，会损伤肺脏。（肺，徐氏、沈氏作腹，《千金方》与原文相同。）
〔鉴〕安石榴，味道酸涩，酸涩则气机阻滞，肺主气，宜通利而不宜阻滞，阻滞就会损伤，所以不可过食。
《本草》震亨说：榴者，留也，它的汁液酸，性质滞恋成痰。
胡桃，不可多吃，会让人动痰饮。（《千金方》说：动痰饮，让人恶心、吐水、吐食。）
〔程〕胡桃，能润肺消痰，现在却说让人动痰饮，为什么呢？因为胡桃性热，多吃则煎熬津液，从而变成痰饮。
生枣，多吃会让人发热、口渴、气胀、寒热，瘦弱的人，更加不能吃，伤害人体。（《千金方·食治方》。）
〔程〕生枣，味甘辛，气热，因为辛热所以让人口渴，甘味所以让人气胀。瘦弱的人，内热必盛，而脾胃必虚，所以更加不能吃。
食用各种果实中毒的治疗方剂。
猪骨（烧过○过，赵本作灰，金鉴二字作黑）
以上一味药，研成末，用水送服一方寸匕。○也能治疗马肝毒、漏脯毒等。
〔程〕猪骨，治疗各种果实毒，也治疗马肝、漏脯毒，其中的道理不清楚。
〔鉴〕用猪骨治疗果子毒，是物性相克使然。治疗马肝毒，是因为猪属水，马属火，这是水克火的道理。治疗漏脯毒，也是骨肉相感的道理。
木耳呈赤色，以及仰面生长的不要食用。○菌类仰卷的，以及赤色的，不可食用。（《证类本草》引《金匮玉函》，耳下的赤字，作青。）
〔程〕木耳和各种菌类，都是覆卷的，仰卷则是变异，色赤则有剧毒，所以不可食用。
食用各种菌类中毒，胸闷烦乱想死，治疗方剂。
人粪汁，饮用一升，土浆，饮用一二升。
大豆，浓煮汁饮用，服用各种催吐泻下药，都能解毒。
〔鉴〕李珣说：闷乱欲死，毒在胃里。服用吐利药，让毒气上下分消。
巢元方说：凡是园圃种植的蔬菜，本来无毒，但蕈菌等物，都是草木变化所生，出于树的是蕈，生于地的是菌，都是郁蒸湿气变化所生，所以有的有毒，人吃了遇到这种毒，大多死得非常迅速，不死的人，还能让人烦闷吐利，很久才醒。
《千金方》治疗食用山中树菌中毒的方剂。
人屎汁，服用一升效果好。
又解各种菌毒的方法。
挖地作坑，往里面浇水搅浑，澄清后饮用，名叫地浆。
《本草》陈藏器说：菌冬春无毒，秋有毒，因为有蛇虫从下面经过。夜间有光的，快要腐烂没有虫的，煮不熟的，煮完后照人没有影子的，上面有毛下面没有纹路的，仰卷赤色的，都有毒，能杀人。中毒的人，用地浆及粪清解毒。
宋代周密《癸辛杂识》说：嘉定乙亥年，杨和王坟上感慈庵僧人德明，游山得到奇异的菌，回家煮粥供家人吃，毒发，随行僧人死者十余人，德明急忙尝粪得以幸免，有个日本僧人定心，宁死不污，直到皮肤开裂而死。
清代吴林《吴蕈谱》说：镜水忍可禅师，在宁国山中，一天与三四个僧人，吃蕈都中毒，刹那间二便频遗，身体软瘫口噤，正窘急时，有个卖药的僧人上山，僧众告诉了他情况，随即用甘草浓煎灌服，同时痊愈。又阳山西花巷有人在一个荒墩上，采了一丛菌，煮着吃，突然毒发，皮肤像琉璃一样透明，让人去采菌处察看，见菌丛生如故，即挖掘见到一个古冢，满中是蛇，就用甘草煎汤喝，不久痊愈。所以我经常在腊月里的粪坑内，浸泡甘草和人中黄，来治疗蕈毒，以及天行疫毒，伏气热病，痘科毒甚不能贯浆的，都有神效。（其方法：用甘草为末，取一段毛竹筒，两头留节，刮去青皮，节上开一窍，纳入甘草在其中，仍用芭蕉叶柄削针封闭窍口，浸在粪坑中，四十九天，须到立春日取出阴干，随意使用。）
食用枫树菌，笑个不停，用前面的方剂治疗。（树、笑，原本作柱、哭，今据程本金鉴改之。）
〔程〕弘景说：枫木上生长的，让人笑个不停，用地浆解毒。
〔鉴〕李珣说：心主笑，笑个不停，是毒瓦斯入心。
张氏《医说》说：四明温台之间的山谷，多生菌，然而种类不一，吃之间有中毒，往往至杀人的，大概是蛇毒瓦斯所熏蒸。有僧人教人掘地，用冷水搅之令浑浊，片刻取饮用的，都得以保全性命，此方见于《本草》，陶隐居注，叫做地浆，也治疗枫树菌，食用后笑个不停，俗话说是食笑菌，居住在山区的人，不可不知道这个方法。案语：陶谷《清异录》说：菌蕈，有一种，食用让人得干笑疾，士人戏呼为“笑矣乎”。这里没有枫树，然而间有食用菌而笑不停的，这难道就是所谓的“笑矣乎”吗？
误食野芋，烦毒欲死，治疗方剂。（〔原注〕用前面的方剂。野芋根，山东人名魁芋，人工种植芋头三年不收，也会变成野芋，并杀人。）
〔程〕野芋三年不收，又名 芋，味辛冷有毒，只可敷摩疮肿，人若食用，中了它的毒，土浆、豆汁、粪汁，都可以解毒。
《本草》陶弘景说：野芋形叶与芋相似，芋种三年不采，成 （音吕）芋，并能杀人。误食的，烦闷垂死的，只有用土浆及粪汁大豆汁饮用，就能活命。程注摩敷疮肿，出于李时珍。
蜀椒闭口的有毒，误食的，戟刺咽喉，气病欲绝，或吐下白沫，身体痹冷，紧急治疗方剂。（病，《肘后方》作便，《外台》作戟人咽，使不得出气，便欲绝，《肘后方》下字无。）
肉桂煎汁饮用。（《肘后方》无肉字）多喝冷水一二升。（《肘后方》多作若，《外台》同）
或者吃蒜。（《肘后方》作大蒜）或者饮地浆。（《肘后方》说：慎不可饮热，饮热杀人）
或者浓煮豉汁饮用，都能解毒。（《外台》引《肘后方》说：又急饮醋，又食椒不可饮热，饮热杀人。）
〔程〕蜀椒气大热，有毒，味辛麻，闭口的毒性更甚，辛则戟人咽喉，麻则让人吐下白沫，身体痹冷。冷水、地浆、豉汁，寒凉能解热毒，桂和蒜大热，而《肘后方》诸方也说解椒毒，不知道其中的道理，难道是因其气欲绝、身体冷痹而用吗？
〔鉴〕如桂与蒜，都是大辛大热的东西，通血脉辟邪秽，以热治热，是从治之法。
正月不要吃生葱，让人脸上生游风。
〔程〕正月甲木始生，人气始发，葱能走头面，而通阳气，反而引风邪，而病头面，所以让人生游风。
案语：游风，不详。《千金方》头面风鸱头酒，治风头眩转，面上游风方。又菊花散，治头面游风方。又《本事方》知母汤，治游风攻头面，或四肢作肿块，这似乎指头风眩晕。又《千金方》面药门，有治面上风方，即指鼻 等。这里说生游风，则应当是鼻 、面 、粉刺等的意思。
二月不要吃蓼，伤人肾。
〔程〕扁鹊说：食蓼，损髓少气减精，二月木正旺，如果食蓼以伤肾水，则木不生，所以二月勿食。
三月不要吃小蒜，伤人志性。（《千金方》黄帝云。）
〔程〕小蒜，辛热有毒，三月为阳气长养之时，不可食此夺气伤神之物。
四月八月，不要吃胡荽，伤人神。

Fruits eaten raw. May cause sores.
[Cheng] The fruits of all plants mature in summer and autumn, possessing the nature of damp-heat; eating them causes sores to arise.
Fruits that have fallen to the ground and remained overnight, or those eaten by insects and ants, are strictly taboo for humans to consume.
[Cheng] Fruits left overnight after falling will spoil; those eaten by insects and ants become toxic. Humans must strictly avoid eating them, as this can lead to the disease known as "Jiu Lou" (Nine Types of Scrofula).
Raw rice that has been stored for many days and is damaged should not be eaten, as it harms the body.
[Cheng] "Damaged" refers to parts eaten by insects and rodents, which contain toxins and thus harm the human body.
Peaches: Eating too many causes internal heat. One must not bathe in water afterwards, otherwise one may suffer from "Long Li Han Re Bing" (Lingering Dampness with Alternating Chills and Fever). (Shen omitted the character "Han"; Cheng Jinjian changed it to "Han Re Long Li Bing," which is inappropriate.)
[Cheng] Peach fruit tastes sour, sweet, and pungent. It is sour when growing in spring, sour and sweet when maturing in summer, and sour and pungent when maturing in autumn. Its nature is hot, so excessive consumption causes heat. If one eats too many and then bathes in water, the sour flavor cannot dissipate internally, often leading to strangury (Long). The cold energy of the water invades externally, causing chills and fever. Commentary: "Long Li" refers to continuous chills and fever. *Zhou Hou Bei Ji Fang* states: "Shi Zhu" (Corpse Transmission) generally causes lingering chills and fever, with a vague and silent state where the patient does not know the source of their suffering. *Wai Tai Mi Yao* states: "Lao Ji" (Exhaustion from Overwork) is called "Long Li" in the Wu and Chu regions. Cheng and Jinjian considered it a miswriting of "Long." *Qian Jin Fang* records Huangdi saying: "Eating peaches to fullness and then bathing in water leads to Lin disease." This is an alternative interpretation.
Unripe Apricot Paste (Xing Lao) harms the body. (Jinjian adds: Some say it kills.)
[Cheng] Ancient people made apricot paste by fermenting with wine and honey, or by boiling with licorice and ginger juice. Because apricot kernels are toxic, half-cooked or half-raw forms are harmful. Modern methods differ. Commentary: Apricot paste is also called Xing Su. Zang Qi says: Consuming it moistens the five zang organs and resolves phlegm coughs; both raw and cooked forms are acceptable. However, if half-raw and half-cooked, it can be fatal. Jinjian mistakenly confused apricot and paste.
Plums: Eating too many damages the teeth. (*Qian Jin Shi Zhi* agrees.)
[Cheng] Plum fruit promotes saliva secretion. Excessive salivation damages the bones because the Kidney governs the five fluids, and teeth are the external manifestation of the Kidney. (Commentary: Li Shizhen elaborates on this theory; Cheng's note is based on this and should be referenced.)
Commentary: *Ben Cao* records that chewing walnut meat can relieve tooth discomfort caused by eating plums, as walnuts tonify the Kidney.
Plums (Li): Should not be eaten in excess, as they cause abdominal distension.
[Jin] Plums taste sour and astringent. Excessive consumption disrupts the middle Jiao qi mechanism, causing abdominal bloating.
Apple (Lin Qin): Should not be eaten in excess, as it weakens the blood vessels and meridians. (*Qian Jin Fang* agrees.)
[Cheng] Apples are sour and astringent, closing and binding the meridians. Excessive consumption weakens the meridians.
Tangerines and Pummelos: Eating too many impairs taste perception, making one unable to discern the five flavors.
[Cheng] Tangerines and pummelos are sour, lingering in the chest and diaphragm, generating phlegm and retaining fluids. When fluid retention accumulates in the upper diaphragm, it causes oral stagnation and loss of taste.
[Jin] The commentary on *Shang Shu* states: Small ones are tangerines, large ones are pummelos. Both are sour in taste and cold in nature. Overconsumption, while refreshing the mouth, leads to a loss of taste sensation.
Commentary: Li Shizhen states: Tangerine peel moves qi and resolves phlegm, while the flesh generates phlegm and retains fluids; their effects on the interior and exterior differ greatly. Cheng's note follows this, but the use of "Shuang" (refresh/loss) is imprecise. Commentary: *Er Ya · Shi Yan* defines "Shuang" as error or loss. *Laozi* states: "The five flavors make the mouth lose its sense," referring to the loss of taste.
Pears: Should not be eaten in excess, as they chill the middle jiao. Patients with traumatic injuries (Jin Chuang) and postpartum women should also avoid them. (*Qian Jin Fang* says: Traumatic injury patients and postpartum women should not eat them, as it causes weakness, fatigue, and chilling of the middle jiao.)
[Cheng] Pears are very cold in nature, chilling the middle jiao. Cold coagulates the blood vessels, so they are unsuitable for traumatic injury patients and postpartum women.
Cherries and Apricots: Eating too many damages the sinews and bones.
[Jin] Cherries and apricots are sour and cold. Overconsumption damages the sinews and bones. *Nei Jing* states: Sourness damages sinews; cold damages bones. Thus, they damage both.
Pomegranates: Should not be eaten in excess, as they damage the Lungs. (Lung, Xu and Shen read as Abdomen; *Qian Jin Fang* agrees with the original text.)
[Jin] Pomegranates are sour and astringent. Astringency causes qi stagnation. The Lung governs qi and prefers free flow rather than stagnation. Stagnation causes damage, so overconsumption should be avoided.
*Ben Cao* (Zhen Heng) says: "Liu" (pomegranate) sounds like "Liu" (stay/retain). Its juice is sour and sticky, leading to phlegm formation.
Walnuts: Should not be eaten in excess, as they stir up phlegm-fluids. (*Qian Jin Fang* says: Stirring up phlegm-fluids causes nausea, vomiting of water, and vomiting of food.)
[Cheng] Walnuts moisten the lungs and resolve phlegm. Why do they now stir up phlegm-fluids? Because walnuts are hot in nature. Excessive consumption boils the body fluids, transforming them into phlegm-fluids.
Raw Dates: Eating too many causes heat, thirst, qi distension, and alternating chills and fever. Emaciated individuals must absolutely avoid them, as they harm the body. (*Qian Jin Fang · Shi Zhi Fang*.)
[Cheng] Raw dates are sweet and pungent, with a hot nature. Pungency and heat cause thirst; sweetness causes qi distension. Emaciated individuals typically have abundant internal heat and deficient spleen-stomach, so they must absolutely avoid them.
Treatment Formula for Poisoning from Various Fruits.
Pig Bone (Burned ○ Guo, Zhao version reads Hui [Ash], Jinjian reads Hei [Black])
Grind the above single ingredient into powder. Take one Fang Cun Bi (square-inch spoonful) with water. ○ Also treats poisoning from horse liver and leaked bread.
[Cheng] Pig bone treats various fruit poisons and also horse liver and leaked bread poisons. The rationale is unclear.
[Jin] Using pig bone to treat fruit poison is due to mutual restriction of material properties. To treat horse liver poison, it is because pigs belong to Water and horses to Fire; this follows the principle of Water overcoming Fire. To treat leaked bread poison, it follows the principle of mutual resonance between bone and flesh.
Red wood ear mushrooms and those growing upwards should not be eaten. ○ Mushrooms growing upwards and curled, and those that are red, are inedible. (*Zheng Lei Ben Cao* cites *Jin Gui Yu Han*, reading the red character under 'ear' as Qing [Green].)
[Cheng] Wood ear and other mushrooms naturally grow downwards and curled. Upward growth indicates mutation; red color indicates toxicity. Therefore, they are inedible.
Treatment Formula for Poisoning from Various Mushrooms, causing stifling, confusion, and near-death sensation.
Human feces juice, drink one sheng. Earth slurry (Tu Jiang), drink one to two sheng.
Soybean, boil thickly for juice and drink. Taking various emetic and purgative drugs also resolves the toxicity.
[Jin] Li Xun says: Stifling confusion and near-death sensation indicate the toxin is in the stomach. Taking emetics and purgatives allows the toxic qi to disperse upward and downward.
Chao Yuanfang states: Vegetables planted in gardens are originally non-toxic. However, mushrooms and fungi are generated by the transformation of grass and trees. Those emerging from trees are Xun (fungi on trees); those growing from the ground are Jun (ground fungi). They are all born from stagnant and steaming dampness. Thus, some are toxic. Humans who ingest such toxins often die rapidly. Survivors suffer from stifling, nausea, and diarrhea, waking only after a long time.
*Qian Jin Fang* treatment formula for poisoning from mountain tree fungi.
Human urine/feces juice, taking one sheng is effective.
Another method to detoxify various fungi.
Dig a pit, pour water in, stir until turbid, let it settle, and drink the clarified liquid. This is called Earth Slurry (Di Jiang).
*Ben Cao* (Chen Cangqi) states: Fungi are non-toxic in winter and spring but toxic in autumn, due to snakes and insects passing underneath. Those glowing at night, rotting without worms, uncooked after boiling, casting no shadow when boiled, having hairs on top but no veins below, and growing upwards with red color, are all toxic and fatal. Poisoning is resolved with earth slurry and clear fecal urine.
Song Dynasty Zhou Mi's *Gui Xin Za Shi* records: In the year Yi Hai of Jiading, Monk Deming of Gan Ci An on the tomb of King Yang Wang traveled in the mountains and found rare fungi. He returned and made porridge for his family. Poison struck, killing over ten accompanying monks. Deming survived by tasting feces. A Japanese monk named Dingxin refused to defile himself and died with skin cracking.
Qing Dynasty Wu Lin's *Wu Xun Pu* records: Chanren Master Renke of Jingshui was in the mountains of Ningguo. One day, he and three or four other monks ate fungi and were poisoned. Instantly, they lost control of bowels and bladder, became limp, and could not speak. Just as they were in distress, a traveling medicine seller came up the mountain. Upon hearing their plight, he immediately administered strong decoction of Licorice Root (Gan Cao), and they recovered simultaneously. Another record: Someone in Yangshan West Flower Alley collected a cluster of fungi from a barren mound, boiled, and ate them. Suddenly, poison struck, and their skin became transparent like glass. Investigating the collection site revealed a cluster of fungi still growing. Digging there uncovered an ancient grave filled with snakes. Drinking licorice decoction led to recovery. Therefore, I often soak Licorice Root and Human Urine Yellow (Ren Zhong Huang) in latrine pits during the twelfth lunar month to treat mushroom poison, epidemic toxins, latent heat diseases, and severe acne toxins preventing pus formation, all with miraculous effects. (Method: Grind licorice root into powder, place in a section of bamboo tube with nodes intact, scrape off green skin, open a hole in a node, insert licorice, seal hole with banana leaf stalk needle, soak in latrine pit for 49 days. Retrieve on Start of Spring, dry in shade, and use as needed.)
Poisoning from eating Maple Tree Fungi, causing uncontrollable laughter, is treated with the previous formula. (Tree/Laughter, original texts read Pill/Cry, corrected here per Cheng and Jinjian.)
[Cheng] Hongjing says: Fungi growing on maple trees cause uncontrollable laughter, resolved by earth slurry.
[Jin] Li Xun says: The Heart governs laughter. Uncontrollable laughter indicates toxic qi entering the Heart.
Zhang Shi's *Yi Shuo* records: Valleys between Siming, Wen, and Tai produce many fungi of various types. Consumption sometimes leads to poisoning and death, likely due to熏蒸 (fuming/miasma) from snake toxins. Monks taught digging pits, stirring cold water until turbid, and drinking the liquid after a short while, saving lives. This formula appears in *Ben Cao*, noted by Tao Hongjing as Earth Slurry. It also treats maple tree fungus poisoning causing laughter. Folklore calls this "Laughing Fungus." Mountain dwellers must know this method. Commentary: Tao Gu's *Qing Yi Lu* mentions a type of fungus causing dry laughter, jokingly called "Xiao Yi Hu" (Laugh Indeed). There are no maple trees here, yet some eat fungi and laugh incessantly. Could this be the so-called "Xiao Yi Hu"?
Accidental ingestion of Wild Taro (Ye Yu), causing烦躁 (restlessness/toxicity) and near-death sensation. Treatment Formula. ([Original Note] Use the previous formula. Wild taro root is called Kui Yu in Shandong. Cultivated taro left in the ground for three years becomes wild taro, which is also fatal.)
[Cheng] Wild taro left for three years is also called 芋. It is pungent, cold, and toxic. It can only be applied externally to swellings. Ingestion causes poisoning. Earth slurry, bean juice, and feces juice can all detoxify it.
*Ben Cao* (Tao Hongjing) states: Wild taro resembles cultivated taro in shape and leaves. Cultivated taro left unharvested for three years becomes 芋 (sound: Lv), which is also fatal. For accidental ingestion causing stifling and near-death, drinking earth slurry, feces juice, or soybean juice brings life. Cheng's note on external application comes from Li Shizhen.
Closed-mouth Sichuan Pepper (Shu Jiao) is toxic. Accidental ingestion pierces the throat, causes qi disorders nearing death, or vomiting/diarrhea of white foam, and body numbness/coldness. Emergency Treatment Formula. (Bing, *Zhou Hou* reads Bian; *Wai Tai* reads Piercing Throat, preventing breath, nearing death. *Zhou Hou* omits the character Xia.)
Decoct Cinnamon Bark (Rou Gui) juice and drink. (*Zhou Hou* omits Rou [Cinnamon]). Drink one to two sheng of cold water. (*Zhou Hou* Duo reads Ruo; *Wai Tai* agrees).
Or eat garlic. (*Zhou Hou* reads Da Suan [Large Garlic]). Or drink earth slurry. (*Zhou Hou* warns: Do NOT drink hot liquids, as it kills).
Or drink thickly boiled Soy Sauce/Douchi juice. All resolve the toxicity. (*Wai Tai* citing *Zhou Hou*: Also urgently drink vinegar. Eating pepper requires avoiding hot drinks; hot drinks kill).
[Cheng] Sichuan Pepper is extremely hot and toxic, with a pungent and numbing taste. Closed-mouth peppers are more toxic. Pungency pierces the throat; numbness causes vomiting/diarrhea of white foam and body numbness/coldness. Cold water, earth slurry, and douchi juice are cold and cool, resolving heat toxins. Cinnamon and garlic are very hot, yet *Zhou Hou* formulas claim they resolve pepper poison. The rationale is unknown. Is it used because the patient's qi is failing and body is cold/numb?
[Jin] Cinnamon and garlic are highly pungent and hot. They move blood vessels and dispel evil filth. Using heat to treat heat is a "Cong Zhi" (Following Treatment) method.
In the first lunar month, do not eat raw scallions, as they cause "You Feng" (Wandering Wind) on the face.
[Cheng] In the first month, Jia Wood begins to grow, and human qi starts to rise. Scallions travel to the head and face and unblock yang qi, but they also attract wind pathogens, causing head and face diseases, hence "Wandering Wind."
Commentary: "You Feng" is unclear. *Qian Jin Fang* has formulas for Head/Face Wind, Chitou Wine for vertigo and facial wandering wind, Chrysanthemum Powder for facial wandering wind, and *Ben Shi Fang* Zhi Mu Decoction for wandering wind attacking head/face or limbs forming lumps. This seems to refer to head wind vertigo. *Qian Jin Fang* Face Medicine section has formulas for facial wind, referring to nasal issues etc. Here, "Sheng You Feng" likely refers to nasal polyps, facial acne, etc.
In the second lunar month, do not eat Polygonum (Liao), as it damages the Kidneys.
[Cheng] Bian Que said: Eating Liao damages marrow, reduces qi, and depletes essence. In the second month, Wood is prosperous. Eating Liao damages Kidney Water, preventing Wood from thriving. Hence, avoid in the second month.
In the third lunar month, do not eat Small Garlic (Xiao Suan), as it harms will and spirit. (*Qian Jin Fang* Huangdi says.)
[Cheng] Small garlic is pungent, hot, and toxic. The third month is when yang qi grows and nourishes. One should not consume things that deprive qi and harm spirit.
In the fourth and eighth lunar months, do not eat Coriander (Hu Sui), as it harms the spirit.
[Cheng] Coriander is a pungent vegetable. Its pungent and fragrant qi damages spirit. In the fourth month, Heart Fire is prosperous; in the eighth month, Lung Qi gathers. Heart stores Spirit, Lung stores Po. Consuming dispersing substances harms spirit.
In the fifth lunar month, do not eat Leeks (Jiu Cai), as it causes lack of strength.
[Cheng] Leeks are fragrant in spring but foul in summer. The Spleen dislikes foul odors and governs the four limbs. Hence, it causes lack of strength.
Commentary: Fragrant in spring, foul in summer, originates from Kou Zongshi.
On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, do not eat any raw vegetables, as they trigger hundred diseases. (*Qian Jin Fang* Huangdi says.)
[Cheng] The fifth day of the fifth month is the Tian Zhong Festival, a day of pure yang. Humans should nurture yang to follow the season. Eating raw vegetables destroys heavenly harmony, causing hundred diseases.
In the sixth and seventh lunar months, do not eat Evodia (Zhu Yu), as it harms spirit and qi. (*Qian Jin Fang* cites Huangdi, Qi Xia, with Fu Qi Zi San characters added.)
[Cheng] In the sixth and seventh months, yang qi is fully emitted. Wu Zhu Yu is pungent and hot. Pungency moves qi, thus harming spirit and qi.
In the eighth and ninth lunar months, do not eat Ginger (Jiang), as it harms the spirit.
[Cheng] In the eighth and ninth months, human qi converges. Ginger is pungent and dispersing. Eating it harms spirit. *Yun Ji Qi Qian* says: Eating fresh ginger in the ninth month causes chronic diseases. Sun Simiao says: Eating ginger in the eighth/ninth months leads to eye problems in spring, damages sinews/strength, and shortens lifespan. Zhu Xi said: Autumn ginger shortens human lifespan, as pungency moves qi and drains Lung.
Commentary: "Do not eat ginger in autumn, draining qi," originates from Li Gao in *Ben Cao Gang Mu*.
In the tenth lunar month, do not eat Pepper (Jiao), as it damages the Heart and Heart vessels. (*Qian Jin Fang* Huangdi says. Note: From the first month to avoiding pepper, *Wai Tai* cites Zhang Zhongjing's formula.)
[Cheng] *Nei Jing* states: In the ninth and tenth months, human qi is in the Heart. Pepper moves qi and damages the Heart, thus damaging Heart vessels.
In the eleventh and twelfth lunar months, do not eat Shallot/Skimmia (Xie), as it causes excessive mucus and saliva.
[Cheng] Xie Bai is cold and slippery in nature, drawing out mucus and saliva. This applies not only to the eleventh and twelfth months.
In all four seasons, do not eat raw Okra (Kui), as it impedes digestion and triggers hundred diseases. It should not be used in food or medicine. Exercise extreme caution.
[Cheng] The Spleen prospers in all four seasons. Raw okra is cold and slippery, unsuitable for the Spleen. As a disease-inducing substance, it is unsuitable in medicinal preparations.
When recovering from seasonal fevers, if one eats raw vegetables before full recovery, hands and feet will swell. (*Qian Jin Fang* cites Huangdi, adding Qing [Green] after Bi [Must].)
[Cheng] Seasonal fever refers to heat disease. After recovery, spleen-stomach remains weak. Eating raw vegetables damages the spleen, causing swelling in hands and feet.
Eating raw vegetables at night is detrimental to humans.
[Cheng] Night consumption of raw vegetables leads to stagnation and difficult transformation, harming the body.
In the tenth lunar month, do not eat raw vegetables exposed to frost, as it causes dull complexion, dry eyes, heart pain, lower back pain, or Heart Malaria. During malaria attacks, fingernails on hands and feet turn blue, accompanied by exhaustion. (*Qian Jin Fang* Huangdi says.)
[Cheng] *Dao Zang* states: In the six yin months, all things return to roots and await renewal. One should not eat cold foods to destroy heavenly harmony. Raw vegetables are cold; after frost, they become very cold. Cold substances damage yang qi. Eating them triggers the aforementioned symptoms.
*Sù Wèn · Cì Nuè Lùn* states: Heart Malaria causes mental restlessness, strong desire for clear water, pronounced chills, and mild fever. Treat Hand Shaoyin. *San Yin Fang* states: Patient feels heart restlessness, desires clear water, has pronounced chills, mild fever, intermittent onset/offset. Caused by excessive joy damaging the Heart and scattering Heart qi. Named Heart Malaria.
Scallion and leek sprouts: Eating them damages Heart qi.
[Cheng] Sprouts contain suppressed qi that has not yet expanded. Eating them damages Heart qi.
Drinking white wine and eating raw leeks aggravates illness.
[Jin] Wine is damp; leeks are hot. Damp-heat combination aggravates illness.
Raw scallions: Must not be eaten with honey, as it kills. Single-clove garlic is even more taboo.
[Cheng] Sun Simiao said: Scallion with honey causes diarrhea. Single-clove garlic is pungent and foul-smelling, even less compatible with honey.
Commentary: *Ben Cao* (Simiao) said: Burnt scallion with honey blocks qi and kills. Also: Large garlic with honey kills.
Dates: Eating with raw scallions causes illness.
[Cheng] Dates with scallions cause disharmony in the five zang organs.
[Jin] The rationale is unclear.
Raw scallions: Eating with rooster, pheasant, or white dog meat causes bleeding from the seven orifices for a year.
[Jin] Li Xun said: These are all wind-generating and fire-igniting substances. Combined consumption causes chaotic and discordant blood/qi overflow, leading to bleeding from the seven orifices.
After eating sugar/honey, within four days, eating raw scallions/leeks causes heart pain. (Jiu, Zhao version reads Suan [Garlic].)
[Cheng] Honey conflicts with scallions, leeks, and garlic. Even within four days of eating honey, one must avoid them. Conflict causes heart pain.
Qian Jin Huangdi said: Eating raw scallion then honey causes diarrhea. Eating burnt scallion then honey causes qi blockage and death. Commentary: Tang (Sugar) is Yi (Maltose) in *Shuo Wen*; Xing (Malt Sugar) is Tang in *Fang Yan*. Clearly, Tang and Honey are distinct. Why did Cheng and Jinjian mention only Honey and omit Tang?
Eating various ginger, garlic, scallions, etc., at night damages the Heart.
[Cheng] Human qi travels through Yang during the day and Yin at night. Night consumption of pungent substances disturbs Yang, damaging the upper Jiao Heart and Diaphragm yang qi.
Turnip root (Wu Jing Gen): Eating too many causes qi distension. (*Qian Jin Fang* agrees.)
[Cheng] Wu Jing is Man Jing. Excessive consumption stirs qi.
Commentary: Excessive consumption stirs qi, originates from Zong Lin.
Skimmia/Xie: Must not be cooked with beef in soup, as it causes Jia (mass) disease. Leeks have the same effect. (*Qian Jin Fang* Huangdi says.)
[Cheng] Xie, leeks, and beef are hard to digest. Accumulation without resolution leads to Jia masses.
Excessive consumption stirs hemorrhoid disease. (Shi [Eat], original and Shen versions read Bing [Disease], incorrect, corrected here. *Qian Jin Fang* agrees.)
[Cheng] Li Tingfei said: Xie is slippery, thus triggering hemorrhoids.
[Jin] Slippery and easy to pass down, thus triggering hemorrhoids.
Wild Lettuce: Must not be eaten with honey, as it causes internal hemorrhoids. (*Qian Jin Fang* cites Huangdi, omitting Nei [Internal]; *Ben Cao Gang Mu* cites *Ben Jing*, reading Rou [Flesh] Hemorrhoids.)
[Cheng] Wild lettuce is bitter and cold. It treats hemorrhoids. Eating with honey reverses this, causing internal hemorrhoids. Conflicting properties alter their nature.
White Lettuce: Must not be eaten with cheese/dairy, as it causes intestinal parasites/worms. (*Qian Jin Fang* cites Huangdi, omitting character.)
[Cheng] White lettuce is bitter and cold; dairy is sweet and cold. Combined consumption stops in the stomach, generating erosive worms.
Li Shizhen said: White lettuce is common, resembling lettuce but with white leaves and white sap when broken. Blooms yellow flowers in April, seeds like bitter lettuce.
Cucumber: Eating it causes heat disease.
