Was bitten by centipede how to handle? What is the effect and function of Chinese medicine centipede

The centipede is poisonous, so how to be bitten by it? What is the efficacy and function of traditional Chinese medicine centipede?

Centipede is also called millipede. In biology, centipede refers to the lip-pod Chilopoda in arthropods. It includes Centipede, Centipede, Centipede and Centipede, each of which has a pair of feet. Among lip-pods, only some centipedes are true hundred-legged, and other species do not have 100 feet. Centipede and stone centipede have only 15 pairs of feet, while centipedes have 21 or 23 pairs of feet, but the feet of centipedes vary greatly, from 31 pairs to 181 pairs.

Although the centipede has the most feet, it does not make it walk faster. On the contrary, it walks slowest, because it has the shortest feet and walks like earthworms. Its shape is very different from that of other centipedes. On the contrary, it is like a sea cockroach. 15 pairs of feet are very long, exceeding the length of the body, and it runs the fastest. In addition, many people do not know that centipedes are not insects, insects have only three pairs of feet.

Under the head of the centipede, there is a pair of poison hooks evolved from the feet. They are carnivores. They will first grasp the prey with the feet at the front of the body, and then stab the prey with the poison hook, inject venom and kill the prey. In fact, centipede venom is similar to bee venom, which is painful but not fatal, and most centipedes are small and have a small amount of venom. In case of being bitten, the best treatment is to clean and disinfect the wound. Ice compress can reduce local swelling and pain, and the pain will be cured after a few days. A small number of people will have more severe symptoms, such as redness and swelling, enlarged lymph glands, etc., this is a wound infected by bacteria, should see a doctor immediately.

We often hear people say that we fight drugs with poison, and over time, we take it for granted, instead of exploring whether it is reasonable to fight drugs with poison. What is the theoretical basis of attacking poison with poison? The Compendium of Materia Medica records that the centipede has the effect of "relieving wind and stopping spasm, attacking poison and dispersing knots". The centipede of traditional Chinese medicine is a large centipede with red head and red feet, which is pierced into the head and tail with a piece of bamboo, stretched and dried in the sun, used raw or baked and taken. But I don't recommend it, because the theory in ancient books about the efficacy of centipedes is that the fastest in the world are the wind and the snake. The centipede can resist the snake, so it can also resist the wind and treat acute wind, stroke, spasms and snake bites. I have seen some people take poisonous biological spirits such as snakes, centipedes and tiger wasps. They think that the more poisonous they are, the more tonic they will be. However, this folk prescription is very dangerous and may lead to liver and kidney damage and even kidney dialysis.

Centipede and Malu are polypods, which are also known as millipedes. Except for one pair of feet in each of the first three segments, each of them has two pairs of feet. Its role in the ecosystem is a cleaner, feeding on decaying plants. The so-called "five poisons" is a folk term for scorpions, snakes, centipedes, geckos, toads and other five poisonous animals, but the real geckos are non-toxic, so it is said that spiders replace geckos and become one of the five poisons.
