《肘后备急方》治疗蝮蛇咬伤人的方法。
桂心、栝蒌
以上两味药等量研成粉末，用细竹筒密封保存以便随身携带，突然被蝮蛇咬伤，立即将药粉敷在伤口上，此药能治疗各种蛇毒，如果密封不严密则药效挥发失效。（文仲的记载与此相同）
另一个方子
急忙挖掘地面做成坑穴，将被咬的部位埋入其中，用力夯实上方土壤，毒素就会渗入土中，片刻之后疼痛缓解再取出，然后慢慢用药治疗。
又一个方子
捣碎小蒜并挤压出汁液，饮用其汁液，并将药渣封敷在疮口上。
又一个方子
取猪耳朵里的耳垢放入受伤疮口中，会有黄色液体流出从而痊愈，牛耳垢也可以使用，效果很好。
又一个方子
嚼食盐后吐唾沫在疮口上，施灸三壮，然后再嚼盐吐唾沫覆盖在上面。

又一个方子
蜂蜡和蜂蜜等量，在锅中小火融化调和，用没有节的竹筒扣在疮口上，用蜡蜜灌满竹筒，使其深入疮口内直至痊愈，如果没有蜂蜜，只用蜂蜡也可以。
又一个方子
急忙向疮口排尿，然后持刀面向太阳屏住气走三步，用刀挖掘地面做成一个小坑。用热水浇灌坑中，取泥土做成三个如梧桐子大小的丸子，服用其中一个，取少量泥土涂在疮口上。（与《肘后备急方》相同）

又说：蝮蛇身形不长，头部扁平嘴巴尖，头部有斑纹身体赤色带斑纹，也有青黑色的，人碰到它时，它的头腹紧贴着地面爬行。东部山区非常多这种蛇，毒性最猛烈，野外行走不可不谨慎，又有一种形状像蝮蛇但较短，有四只脚，能跳起来咬人，东部人称之为千岁蝮，一旦中毒必定死亡，然而它咬人完毕后，会跳上林木，发出“研木、研木”的声音，只是在营造棺材（意指死后入棺）。
The *Zhouhou Beiji Fang* (Emergency Prescriptions Kept in the Sleeve) method for treating pit viper bites.
Guixin (Cinnamon Twig Heart), Gualou (Trichosanthes Fruit).
Grind the above two herbs into equal parts powder, seal tightly in a small bamboo tube for portable storage. If bitten suddenly by a pit viper, apply the powder immediately to the wound. This medicine treats various snake venoms; if not sealed tightly, the medicinal qi will dissipate and it will be ineffective. (Wen Zhong's record is identical.)
Another prescription:
Urgently dig a pit in the ground, bury the bitten area within it, and compact the soil firmly on top. The toxin will seep into the earth. After a short while, when the pain subsides, remove the limb and slowly treat with medicine.
Another prescription:
Crush small garlic and squeeze out the juice. Drink the juice and apply the dregs as a poultice over the wound.
Another prescription:
Take earwax from a pig's ear and place it into the injured wound. Yellow fluid should discharge, leading to recovery. Earwax from a cow's ear can also be used effectively.
Another prescription:
Chew salt and spit saliva onto the wound. Perform moxibustion with three cones (zhuang). Then chew more salt and spit saliva onto the wound again.
The *Beiji Qianjin Yaofang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold for Emergencies) method for treating pit viper bites.
Burn centipede until charred, grind into powder, and apply to the wound. Effective. (Identical to *Zhouhou Beiji Fang*.)
Another prescription:
Mix beeswax and honey in equal proportions. Melt and blend them in a cauldron. Place a jointless bamboo tube over the wound and fill the tube with the wax-honey mixture, allowing it to penetrate deep into the wound until healed. If honey is unavailable, using only beeswax is also acceptable.
Another prescription:
Urgently urinate into the wound. Then, holding a knife facing the sun, hold your breath and take three steps. Use the knife to dig a small pit in the ground. Pour hot water into the pit, then take the mud and form three pills the size of sophora seeds. Ingest one pill and apply a small amount of mud to the wound. (Identical to *Zhouhou Beiji Fang*.)
Wen Zhong's method for treating pit viper bites.
Xixin (Asarum), Xionghuang (Realgar).
Place equal parts of the above two herbs into the wound. Apply three to four times daily. Also effective for wounds caused by various snakes and tigers.
It is further stated that: The pit viper has a short body, a flat head, and a pointed mouth. It has spots on its head and red patterns on its body, though some are greenish-black. When encountered, it presses its belly flat against the ground. They are abundant in the mountains of the eastern region, and their venom is the most potent. One must be extremely cautious when walking through grass. There is another type resembling a pit viper but shorter, with four legs, capable of jumping to bite humans. Eastern people call this "Thousand-Year Viper." Bites from this snake are invariably fatal. However, after biting, it jumps into trees or bushes, making a sound like "yan mu, yan mu" (grinding wood), which implies preparing a coffin for itself.
