挖掘石榴树向东生长的根部表皮，洗净、晒干后捣碎成细末，不掺杂其他药味。在空腹时（隔夜禁食），于清晨用温酒调服此药，效果奇妙。
蔡定夫之子康长期深受寸白虫（绦虫）之苦。医生让他将槟榔碾成细末，取石榴东引根煎煮成汤，用此汤调服槟榔粉。服药前先烤一大块肥肉放在口中，只咀嚼吞咽其津液和油脂，而不吞食肉块。据说这种虫子只有在每月初三之前头部朝上时，才能用药攻杀；其余日子虫子头向下，即使有药也无益。因为虫子闻到肉的香气会产生吸食之意，所以会空出肠道争着奔赴前方。当患者感觉胸中像被万箭攻击时，就是药效发作的征兆。此时再饮下前述药物。蔡完全听从医生的告诫，不到两刻钟，腹中雷鸣般作响，急忙去厕所，排出的虫子如倾泻一般，命仆人用竹杖挑开查看，发现虫子连绵成串，长达几丈，仍然微微蠕动。将其举起抛入溪流中，宿疾顿时痊愈。姑且广泛传播此法以救济后人。（出自《支志》）
有一个村店妇人，因用火筒吹火，不知火筒中藏有一只蜈蚣。她用火筒吹火时，蜈蚣受惊跳出，窜入她的喉咙，不知不觉下行至胸膈部位。妇人求救，旁人束手无策。恰好旁边有人建议：可以讨来一只小猪，切断其喉部取血，让妇人立即喝下。片刻之后，再用生油一口灌入妇人口中，随即引起恶心，蜈蚣裹挟在血液中吐出。随后给予研细的雄黄，用水调服，病遂痊愈。
蜒蚰（蜗牛/蛞蝓）进入耳中，取驴乳滴入耳中，应当能使其溶解成水。百虫进入耳中，可用桃叶用火熨烫，卷起来塞住耳朵，虫子立刻就会出来。（出自《本草》）
柳宗元在《骂尸虫文》中说：人体内都有三只“尸虫”，居住在腹中，窥伺人的隐蔽细微之处，一旦有失误就记录下来。每逢庚申日，趁着人昏睡时，它们上天向天帝进谗言以求得祭祀。因此人们多遭贬谪过失、疾病瘟疫、短命夭折。而医经也说，尸虫能与鬼灵相通，常常招引外邪造成危害。其发作的症状，有的沉默不语，不知道具体痛苦所在，但全身无不厌恶不适；有的腹痛胀急；有的肿块突起；有的牵引腰脊疼痛；有的精神错乱，变证繁多。这些病症大同小异。（出自《鸡峰方》）
齐州士曹席进孺邀请亲友张彬秀才到馆舍做客。张彬嗜酒，每晚必在床上角落放置数升酒。一天晚上忘记放置了。半夜他极度口渴，找不到酒，愤怒烦闷，呼叫躁动。不久呕吐出一物在地上。早晨起来查看，见床下有一块肉状物，颜色如肝且发黄，上面像蜂巢一样，还在微微蠕动。取酒浇在上面，发出唧唧的声音。这才醒悟平生酒病的根源，急忙将其投入火中烧掉，此后便不再饮酒。（出自《丁志》）
Dig the root bark of the pomegranate tree growing towards the east, wash it, dry it in the sun, and pound it into a fine powder without mixing with other ingredients. Take it on an empty stomach (after fasting overnight), mixed with warm wine in the early morning; the effect is miraculous.
Kang, the son of Cai Dingfu, suffered bitterly from *Taenia solium* (pork tapeworm) for a long time. The physician instructed him to grind areca nut (*Arecae Semen*, 槟榔) into a fine powder and decoct the eastern-growing root bark of the pomegranate (*Punicae Granati Cortex*, 石榴皮) in water. He was to take the areca nut powder mixed with this decoction. Before taking the medicine, he should roast a large piece of fatty pork, place it in his mouth, chew it, swallow its saliva and grease, but not eat the meat itself. It is said that these worms only have their heads facing upward during the first three days of the lunar month, at which time they can be attacked by medicine; on other days, their heads face downward, and even if medicine is taken, it is useless. Because the worms smell the meat and desire to feed, they clear the intestinal tract and rush forward. When the patient feels as if ten thousand arrows are attacking the chest, this is the sign that the medicine is working. Then, drink the aforementioned medicine. Cai followed the doctor's instructions strictly. Within two *ke* (approx. 30 minutes), thunderous sounds were heard in his abdomen, and he hurried to the toilet. The expelled worms poured out like a flood. He ordered servants to use sticks to separate them, finding them connected in long chains, nearly several *zhang* (approx. 10-30 meters) long, still slightly wriggling. He lifted them and threw them into a stream. The chronic illness was instantly cured. This method is circulated widely to benefit future generations. (From *Zhi Zhi*)
A woman in a village shop used a bellows to blow fire, unaware that a centipede was hiding inside. When she blew the fire, the centipede was startled, jumped out, and crawled into her throat, descending unnoticed to the chest and epigastrium. The woman sought help, but no one knew what to do. Someone nearby suggested: obtain a piglet, cut its throat to collect blood, and have the woman drink it immediately. After a moment, pour a mouthful of raw oil into the woman's mouth, inducing nausea. The centipede, wrapped in the blood, will be vomited out. Subsequently, administer realgar (*Realgar*, 雄黄) finely ground and mixed with water. The disease was then cured.
If a slug or snail (*Limax*, 蜒蚰) enters the ear, instill donkey milk (*Asini Lac*, 驴乳) into the ear; it should dissolve into water. If various insects enter the ear, heat peach leaves (*Persicae Folium*, 桃叶) with fire, roll them up, and plug the ear; the insects will come out immediately. (From *Bencao*)
Liu Zongyuan wrote in "Essay Scolding the Corpse Worms": Humans possess three "Corpse Worms" (*Shi Chong*, 尸虫) residing in the abdomen. They watch for hidden mistakes and record them. On Gengshen days, while people are asleep, these worms ascend to heaven to slander humans before the Emperor to seek sacrifices. Consequently, people suffer from demotions, faults, diseases, plagues, and premature death. Medical classics also state that these worms communicate with spirits and often attract external pathogens causing harm. Their symptoms include silence and unknown discomfort throughout the body, abdominal pain and distension, protruding masses, pain radiating to the waist and spine, mental confusion, and numerous variable manifestations. These diseases are largely similar with minor differences. (From *Jifeng Fang*)
Xi Jinru, a civil official in Qizhou, invited his relative, Scholar Zhang Bin, to stay at the guesthouse. Zhang Bin was addicted to alcohol and always placed several *sheng* (approx. 5-10 liters) of wine at the corner of his bed every night. One night, he forgot to set it out. In the middle of the night, he became extremely thirsty, could not find the wine, and became angry, depressed, and restless. Soon, he vomited an object onto the floor. In the morning, he looked down and saw a liver-like yellow mass under the bed, resembling a honeycomb and slightly moving. He poured wine over it, producing a squeaking sound. He then realized the root cause of his lifelong alcoholism, quickly threw it into the fire to burn it, and subsequently stopped drinking. (From *Ding Zhi*)
