Esoteric Meanings of the Grotto Heavens, Vol. 6

...drinking three doses of the Poison-Expelling Powder will result in a full recovery. For external treatment, formulas such as the Centipede Powder are also miraculous; both may be used in tandem. If a snake should accidentally enter a person's bodily orifices original: 孔竅 (kǒngqiào), referring to the ears, nose, or other openings., simply use a needle to prick its tail, and it will emerge on its own. This requires no more than two or three pricks. In the countryside of North Zhili A historical province of China surrounding Beijing., a woman was urinating when a snake entered her private parts. She did not know the method of pricking the tail with a needle, and she eventually met a sudden and tragic death. This is truly piteous. I have therefore specially recorded this event to pass this knowledge down to future generations.
