岭南闽广间,溪毒、沙虱、水弩、射工、蝈短狐、虾须之类,俱能含沙射人。被其毒则憎寒
壮热,百体分解,似伤寒。初发,土人治法,以手摩痛处,用角筒入
肉,以口吸出其痧毒,外用大蒜(煨)捣膏,封贴疮口即愈。诸虫唯虾须最毒,其毒深入于骨,若虾
须之状,其疮类疔肿,不治必死。彼地有 、 、 、HT 等鸟专食以上诸虫。故以此鸟毛粪服之,
及笼此鸟于身畔吸之,其痧闻气自出而愈。
其症喉中作痒难过,吃茶酒汤水便不可救。
薄荷(二分) 麝香(一分)
为细末,吹喉。待气通吐涎碗许,然后吃陈米汤半碗即愈。
松峰按∶此虽名伤寒,实疫疠之类。夫曰喉痒,似病之轻者;曰难过,则痒不可当矣。虽
然何至吃茶水便不可救乎?观其待气通三字,则痒时其气已有大不通者在矣!味其言吐涎碗许,
则气之所以不通,涎为之也。此症甚恶,亦世之所不轻见者。
其症两胁胀满,筑心疼痛,或腹内搅肠作痛,头晕眼黑,或大小便闭塞,气不
通畅,命在旦夕。将绵花子油与吃试之,食之香甜不油气者,即是此症。速将绵子油令病患吃足,
或用之四五两、半斤、一斤立愈,仍将油吐出不少,奇方也。
其症国中,头疼恶心,两胁胀痛攻心,不能坐卧。(得此症吃黄豆不腥气者便是。)用车头
油十二两,黄连三钱,乳香三钱。二味为末,用车头油共捣匀,丸梧子大,百草霜为衣,用无根
水送七丸立效。愈后一日无食。忌腥冷、气恼数日。(车头油,即车毂中所积油垢,或用六两、
三两、两半皆可。)
在岭南、福建、广东等地,溪毒、沙虱、水弩、射工、蝈短狐、虾须等虫类,都能含沙喷射伤人。人被其毒气所伤,就会出现憎寒(极度怕冷)壮热(高热),全身关节疼痛如被分解一般,症状类似伤寒病。初发病时,当地人的治疗方法是:用手按摩疼痛部位,用角筒插入皮肤肉中,用口吸出痧毒,外用大蒜(煨熟后)捣成膏状,封贴疮口即可痊愈。这些虫类中以虾须最毒,其毒性深入骨骼,形状像虾须,疮疡类似疔肿,如果不治疗必定死亡。当地有一种鸟专门捕食上述各种虫类。因此服用这种鸟的羽毛和粪便,或者将这种鸟关在笼子旁靠近身体让它吸气,痧毒闻到气味就会排出而痊愈。
这种病症表现为喉咙发痒且难以忍受,如果喝茶、酒或汤水就无法救治。取薄荷(二分)、麝香(一分),研成细末,吹入喉部。等到气息通畅并吐出约一碗涎液后,再喝半碗陈米汤即可痊愈。
刘松峰按语:此症虽然名为伤寒,实际上是疫病的一类。说喉咙痒,似乎病情较轻;但说“难过”,则是痒得无法忍受。既然如此,怎么会连茶水都喝不得就无药可救呢?从“待气通”这三个字来看,说明在发痒时,体内的气机已经严重不通了!品味文中提到的“吐涎碗许”,说明气机不通的原因在于涎液的阻滞。此症非常凶险,也是世间不常轻易见到的病症。
这种病症表现为两胁胀满,心脏部位剧烈疼痛,或者腹内肠绞痛,头晕眼花,或者大小便闭塞不通,气机不畅,生命危在旦夕。给患者吃棉花籽油来测试,如果吃起来香甜没有油气味,就是此症。迅速让患者足量食用棉子油,或用四五两、半斤甚至一斤,立刻痊愈,期间还会吐出不少油,这是奇方。
这种病症表现为头痛恶心,两胁胀痛攻心,不能坐卧。(患此症的人吃黄豆不会有腥气。)用车头油十二两,黄连三钱,乳香三钱。将后两味药研成粉末,与车头油一起捣匀,制成梧桐子大小的丸药,以百草霜为衣,用无根水送服七丸,立刻见效。痊愈后一天内不要进食。忌食腥冷食物及生气恼怒数日。(车头油,即车轴轴承处积聚的油垢,用量可用六两、三两或一两半均可。)
In the regions of Lingnan, Fujian, and Guangdong, insects such as stream poison (Xidu), sand lice (Shashi), water crossbow (Shuinu), archer bug (Shegong), short-armed fox (Guo Duanhu), and shrimp whiskers (Xuxu) can all contain sand and shoot at people. Once poisoned by them, one experiences aversion to cold (Zenghan) and high fever (Zhuangre), with the whole body feeling as if being torn apart, resembling Taiyang disease (Taiyang Bing). At the onset, local treatment methods involve massaging the painful areas with hands, inserting a horn tube into the flesh, and sucking out the sha toxin with the mouth. Externally, garlic (roasted) is mashed into a paste and applied to seal the wound, leading to recovery. Among these insects, Xuxu (shrimp whiskers) is the most toxic; its venom penetrates deep into the bones. The lesion resembles a Ding swelling (Ding Zhong); without treatment, it is fatal. In that region, certain birds specialize in eating these insects. Therefore, consuming the feathers and feces of these birds, or keeping caged birds near the body to inhale their scent, causes the sha toxin to be expelled upon smelling the odor, resulting in recovery.
The symptoms include itching in the throat that is unbearable; drinking tea, alcohol, or soup/water becomes impossible to save. Take Bohe (Menthae Haplocalycis Herba, 薄荷) (2 fen) and Shexiang (Moschus, 麝香) (1 fen), grind them into fine powder, and insufflate into the throat. Wait until the qi flows freely and about a bowl of saliva is vomited, then drink half a bowl of aged rice soup to recover.
Liu Songfeng notes: Although named Taiyang disease, this is actually a type of epidemic pestilence. Itching in the throat seems like a mild condition; however, "unbearable" implies the itch is intolerable. If so severe, how could drinking tea or water lead to incurability? Observing the phrase "wait for qi to flow," it indicates that during the itching, the qi mechanism was already severely obstructed! Tasting the mention of "vomiting a bowl of saliva," it suggests that the obstruction of qi was caused by the accumulation of saliva. This condition is very malignant and rarely seen lightly in the world.
Symptoms include distension and fullness in both hypochondriac regions, pounding pain in the heart area, or twisting intestinal pain in the abdomen, dizziness and blacking out of eyes, or blockage of urination and defecation, with stagnant qi, life hanging in the balance. Test by giving the patient cottonseed oil; if it tastes sweet and lacks an oily fishy smell, it is this condition. Quickly have the patient consume sufficient cottonseed oil, using 4-5 liang, half a jin, or even one jin, leading to immediate recovery, often accompanied by vomiting a significant amount of oil. This is a miraculous prescription.
Symptoms include headache, nausea, distending pain in both hypochondriac regions attacking the heart, inability to sit or lie down. (If the patient eats soybeans without detecting a fishy smell, it confirms this condition.) Use 12 liang of Che Tou You (vehicle axle grease), 3 qian of Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma, 黄连), and 3 qian of Ruxiang (Olibanum, 乳香). Grind the latter two into powder, mix thoroughly with Che Tou You, and roll into pills the size of a cockle seed (Wuzi Da), coated with Baicao Shuang (soot from burning hundred herbs). Administer seven pills with Wugen Shui (water not touched by ground/rainwater) for immediate effect. After recovery, fast for one day. Avoid raw, cold foods, and emotional anger for several days. (Che Tou You refers to the grease accumulated in the vehicle hub/bearing; dosages of 6 liang, 3 liang, or 1.5 liang are also acceptable.)
