有人被毒蛇咬伤后,过了很久已经昏迷困倦。有一位老僧用酒调匀两钱药粉灌服,患者随即苏醒;随后又将药渣涂抹在咬伤处,过了一段时间又灌服了两钱药粉,患者的痛苦全部消除。询问其用药,原来是五灵脂一两、雄黄半两研成细末。凡是被蛇毒所伤者,使用此方没有不灵验的。(出自《本草衍义》)
南海地区多蛇,而广州府尤其严重。某侍郎担任帅职时,听说雄黄能禁制这种毒害,于是购买了几百两雄黄,分别装在绢袋里,挂在寝室的四个角落。经过一个多月,卧榻外常有黑汁从上面滴下,气味又臭又腥臊。让人掀开天花板偷看,发现一条巨蟒横在上面,已经死亡腐烂了。这条蛇长达一丈多,粗如柱子。旁边又发现了十几条,都盘绕成巢穴。其他房屋内驱赶放出的蛇合计有数百条。从此以后,官署住宅变得清净了。(出自《类编》)
凡是遇到蛇伤虫咬,仓促间没有药物的地方,可以用一碗大蓝汁,加入二钱雄黄末,调匀后点在受伤处,并让患者细细服用该汁液,效果神奇灵验。如果没有大蓝,可以用淀花青黛代替。
每次准备外出时,取一颗桐子大小的雄黄,在大火上烧至冒烟,用来熏烤脚部、草鞋之类以及袍袖之间,这样百毒就不敢侵害,邪祟也会远远避开。(出自《集验方》,同上)
浙西军将张韶被蚯蚓咬伤,症状如同患大风病(麻风),眉毛胡须全都脱落。每晚蚯蚓都在他身上鸣叫。有位僧人教他用浓盐水浸泡身体数次,病就好了。
被蜘蛛咬伤,用雄黄末敷在患处。(出自《朝野佥载》)
被马咬伤,烧鞭梢灰涂抹患处,大概是取其相克的意思。
被蜈蚣咬伤,取一只蜘蛛放在咬伤处,蜘蛛会自行饮毒而死,但疼痛仍未停止,再换一只活的蜘蛛继续处理。(出自孙真人)
赵延禧说:遭到恶蛇咬伤的地方,贴上蛇皮,然后在蛇皮上施灸,可以引出毒气,疼痛即止。

A person was bitten by a venomous snake and, after a long time, fell into a coma. An old monk mixed two qian of medicine with wine and administered it orally, whereupon the patient regained consciousness. The dregs of the medicine were then applied to the bite site, and after some time, another two qian were administered orally, eliminating all suffering. Upon inquiry, it was revealed that the medicine consisted of one liang of Trogopterus Dung (Wulingzhi) and half a liang of Realgar (Xionghuang), ground into powder. For anyone poisoned by snake venom, this remedy is invariably effective (from *Bencao Yan Yi*).
The Nanhai region has many snakes, particularly in Guangzhou Prefecture. A certain Vice Minister, serving as a military governor, heard that Realgar (Xionghuang) could suppress this poison. He purchased several hundred liang of Realgar, stored them in separate silk bags, and hung them in the four corners of his bedroom. After more than a month, black fluid dripped from above outside the bedstead, smelling foul and musky. Upon inspection of the ceiling, a giant python was found lying dead and rotting on top. It was over ten chi long and as thick as a pillar. Several dozen others were found nearby, coiled into nests. Hundreds of snakes driven out from other rooms were also collected. From then on, the official residence became free of snakes (from *Lei Bian*).
In cases of snake bites or insect stings where no medicine is immediately available, mix one bowl of Indigofera tinctoria Juice (Dalan Zhi) with two qian of Realgar Powder (Xionghuang Mo). Apply the mixture to the wound and have the patient sip it slowly; the effect is miraculous. If Indigo plant juice is unavailable, substitute with Indigo Naturalis (Qingdai) derived from Isatis root.
Before going out, take an amount of Realgar (Xionghuang) the size of a tung nut seed and burn it over a high fire until smoke rises. Use the smoke to fumigate the feet, straw sandals, and sleeves. This prevents harm from various poisons and keeps evil influences at a distance (from *Ji Yan Fang*, same source).
Zhang Shao, a military officer in Western Zhejiang, was bitten by an earthworm. His condition resembled Hansen's disease (Feng Da), resulting in the loss of eyebrows and beard. Every night, the earthworms would make noises on his body. A monk instructed him to soak his body in strong salt water several times, which cured him.
For spider bites, apply Realgar Powder (Xionghuang Mo) to the affected area (from *Chao Ye Qian Zai*).
For injuries caused by cats, grind fresh Mentha Haplocalyx (Bohe) and apply the juice to the wound (from *Bai Yi Xuan Fang*).
For horse bites, apply ash from burned whip tips to the wound, likely utilizing the principle of mutual suppression.
For centipede bites, place one spider on the bite site; the spider will ingest the venom and die, but pain may persist. Replace with a live spider if necessary (attributed to Sun Simiao).
Zhao Yanxi stated: For severe snake bites, apply snake skin to the wound and perform moxibustion on top of the skin to draw out the toxic qi, thereby stopping the pain.
For bites from "Bi Jing" (a type of venomous insect), rub Rhubarb (Dahuang) with vinegar and apply to the wound.
Bites from "Bi Jing" are fatal; treat with Alum (Baifan) (from *Tai Ping Guang Ji*: boil Mulberry Branch Ash Lye three times, use the liquid to mix with Alum to form a paste, apply to the sore for healing; also treats snake venom).
When silkworms bite humans, the toxin enters the flesh; apply juice from Ramie (Zhu) to the wound. It is known that if ramie plants are near silkworms, the silkworms fail to develop (from *Bencao*).
