朱乐只云∶山草中有之，系草树之叶结成，大者如斗，冬月取之，蚁在土而不在窠矣。
救生苦海∶山蚁窠深
山内大树根中有之，十一月或正月草枯时寻取。有二种，一种大如升斗，
色黄柔软，形如干黄烂叶，又若柔皮纸，窠皮上层层有刷纹成晕，若虎头，俗呼虎头蚂蚁窠
，不知何物所造，惟内中多筋，其筋系松毛草茎之类也，抽去内中筋及泥土用之。一种色白
，系是泥土所为，其形有类松皮，研用入药。
久不收口烂疮，贴之即收口。
治刀伤出血 救生苦海∶用山蚁窠，抽去内中筋及泥土，包裹伤处，再用布缚，即血止

过饱则醉，醉后即吐，蚁食其唾余，则形变虎头而生翼；即以其所吐涎啮树汁草浆，和山土

生长在芝麻茎秆中的芝麻虫，通常在三更天从下往上爬，到达顶端吸食露水，到五更天时又向下爬，因此应在夜间采集。其性热，能助阳，可放入帷帐或蚊帐中使用。
治疗痔瘘管：使用芝麻虫（形状像蚕，呈绿色），将其焙干后研成粉末，用开水送服，每日一钱。服用七日后，痔瘘管会自然脱落排出。
李氏草秘记载：生长在桐油树中的虫子，就是木蠹虫。最能治疗恶性的肿毒，取七根焙干研末，冲入酒中服用，即可痊愈。
李氏草秘记载：一种虫子生长在牛膝草的节中，需用香油浸泡炮制。
治疗手指头毒疮，若昼夜疼痛难忍，将此药敷在患处，即可痊愈。
子（此处指代前文提到的某种情况或作为段落标记）：
朱乐只说：山间的草中有这种蚂蚁窠，是由草树的叶子结成的，大的像斗一样大。冬天采集时，蚂蚁已经在土里而不在窠中了。
救生苦海记载：山蚁窠深藏于……
生长在山内大树根部中，在十一月或正月草木枯萎时寻找采集。有两种，一种大如升斗，颜色黄且柔软，形状像干枯腐烂的黄叶，又像柔软的皮纸，窠皮上层层有刷纹形成的晕圈，像虎头，俗称“虎头蚂蚁窠”，不知是何物所造，只有内部多筋，这些筋是松毛、草茎之类的东西，使用时抽去内部的筋和泥土。另一种颜色白，是由泥土构成的，形状类似松皮，研碎后入药。
治疗久不愈合的烂疮，贴敷后即可收口。
治疗刀伤出血：救生苦海记载：使用山蚁窠，抽去内部的筋和泥土，包裹伤口，再用布捆扎，即可止血收口。
秃疮：周氏传方记载：用山蚂蚁窠中的土，以盐卤调和敷贴，数日即可痊愈。
生皮结痂：凡是疮疡脓腐已尽，新肉已生，但伤口不肯闭合，用山蚁窠搓去草泥等杂物，撕开贴敷，即可结痂生肉。
张圣来说：山蚂蚁生活在深山幽谷中，头像老虎，牙齿钳子非常锋利，有翅膀能飞。凡是老虎吃人过饱就会醉，醉后就会呕吐，蚂蚁食用其吐出的余唾，形态就变成虎头并生出翅膀；就用它吐出的涎液咬食树汁草浆，混合山土酿造成泥，沿着树枝筑成窠巢。其窠巢重叠如蜂窝，内部有台座，外部则有黄白纹路，大如斗，悬挂在树枝上。山中人见到它的窠巢，用烟熏走蚂蚁，采集后入药。
窠巢敷治金刃创伤，止血定痛，生肌收口。
窠巢中的台座，治疗发背、百鸟朝王毒。
窠巢上缘枝的部分，治疗蛀脊（脊柱病变）。
Shamazhong (Sesame Worm) grows in the stems of sesame plants. It typically climbs from bottom to top at the third watch (midnight to 2 a.m.) to feed on dew at the apex, and descends by the fifth watch (3 a.m. to 5 a.m.). Therefore, it should be collected at night. Its nature is hot and it assists Yang Qi (vital energy). It can be used within curtains or mosquito nets.
To treat hemorrhoidal fistulas: Use Shamazhong (green, silkworm-like), dry it by roasting, grind it into powder, and take it with boiled water, one qian daily. After seven days of administration, the fistula tract will naturally discharge.
Li's Grass Secret records: The insect growing in tung oil trees is the Mu Du Chong (wood-boring worm). It is most effective for treating malignant swellings and toxic sores. Take seven specimens, roast them, grind them into powder, mix with wine, and ingest; recovery follows immediately.
Li's Grass Secret records: An insect grows in the nodes of Achyranthes bidentata (Niu Xi) grass; it must be processed by soaking in sesame oil.
To treat toxic sores on the fingertips, where pain is unbearable day and night, apply this preparation to the affected area for immediate cure.
Zi (Section marker):
Zhu Lezhi states: In mountain herbs, there exists an ant nest formed by the leaves of grasses and trees. The larger ones are as big as a dou (a unit of volume). When collected in winter, the ants have already moved into the soil and are no longer in the nest.
Life-Saving Bitter Sea records: Mountain ant nests are deep...
They grow among the roots of large trees in mountains and are sought during the eleventh month or the first month when vegetation is withered. There are two types. One type is as large as a sheng or dou, yellow in color, soft, resembling dried rotten yellow leaves or flexible leather paper. The outer skin of the nest has layered brush-stroke patterns forming halos, resembling a tiger's head, commonly known as "Tiger-Head Ant Nest." It is unknown what creature constructs it. It contains many internal tendons made of pine needles, grass stems, etc., which must be removed along with soil before use. The other type is white, composed of soil, resembling pine bark in shape, and is ground for medicinal use.
For chronic non-healing ulcers, applying the nest promotes wound closure.
To treat bleeding from knife wounds: Life-Saving Bitter Sea records: Use the mountain ant nest, remove internal tendons and soil, wrap the wound, and bind with cloth to stop bleeding and promote healing.
Tinea Capitis (Bald Sores): Zhou's Prescribed Formula records: Use the soil from inside the mountain ant nest, mix with saline brine, and apply topically; cure occurs within several days.
Formation of Scabs: When pus and necrotic tissue of a sore have been completely expelled, new flesh has grown, but the wound refuses to close, rub off grass and mud from the mountain ant nest, tear it open, and apply it to the site to induce scabbing and flesh regeneration.
Zhang Shenglai states: Mountain ants inhabit deep mountains and remote valleys. Their heads resemble tigers, their mandibles are sharp, and they possess wings allowing flight. When a tiger eats humans to satiety, it becomes drunk and vomits. Ants consume the residual saliva, transforming into a tiger-headed form with wings. They use their secreted saliva to bite tree sap and plant juices, mixing them with mountain soil to create mud, which they build into nests along branches. These nests are layered like honeycombs, containing internal platforms, with yellow and white patterns externally, as large as a dou, hanging from branches. Locals smoke out the ants upon sighting the nest and collect them for medicine.
The nest applied to metal blade injuries stops bleeding, alleviates pain, generates muscle, and closes wounds.
The platform within the nest treats Back Carbuncle (Fa Bei) and Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the King Toxicity.
The part of the nest clinging to branches treats Spinal Caries (Zhu Ji).
