Shortly thereafter, the patient will hear a sound in their chest as if a leather strap were snapping; the toxin will exit through the eyes, mouth, and nose or be expelled via the stool. If poisoning is recent, it manifests as blood; if prolonged, it forms worms. Wash the medicine thoroughly, store it, and reuse it;For all poisonings caused by snakes, scorpions, centipedes, or horse sweat, grind the medicine with good vinegar to form a paste and apply it to the affected area for immediate relief.
