Chapter 210 On Diseases and Epidemics (2.0)
Li Niandao: “Yes, the acne virus will survive in the patient’s body. When a person with acne breathes, coughs, or sneezes, the acne virus will be released into the body. From the outside world, if someone happens to inhale it into their body, they will also get acne.” If spread, many people will soon suffer from acne. "
"In addition to respiratory infections, acne can also be spread through contact with patients, and even through contact with patients' clothing and daily utensils. ”
The doctors took a breath of air. This pox plague is indeed more terrifying than cholera. If possible, this epidemic must not be allowed to be introduced.
A doctor immediately raised the issue: "Sir, since this epidemic is still in the Western Regions and has not yet entered the Central Plains, is there a way to prevent it from being introduced?"
Li Nian shook his head and said: "It is difficult to do! ”
Even in modern times, it is difficult to completely isolate things like viruses and bacteria from their entry, let alone in the era of Da Qin.
Moreover, in the path Li Nian designed for Great Qin, it would be even more difficult for Great Qin to expand outward.
Da Qin must face certain diseases and plagues in other regions, and it is impossible to escape.
The doctors also knew that their idea was difficult to implement, but they were still a little disappointed when they heard Li Nian's answer.
If the pox plague is introduced to the Middle Earth, it will definitely bring disaster to all living beings. Now I just hope that this person can have a good way to deal with the pox.
Li Niandao: "Acne is highly contagious and has a high fatality rate. There is no very suitable prescription to treat it. But if you want to prevent it and stop its spread after discovery, there are ways!"
The doctors listened carefully.
“‘Prevention’ means taking certain measures before getting acne so that people will not get acne or the harm after getting acne will be reduced.”
"Acne has a property. If a person who has it can survive, he will generally not get it again in the future."
"According to this property, if people can first get a mild form of acne, It will be difficult for people to get acne in the future. Even if they do get it, the symptoms will be relieved and they will not lose their lives.”
It is said that Kangxi was able to be firmly designated as the successor by Shunzhi. Survived a bout with smallpox as a child.
After hearing what Li Nian said, all the doctors looked at each other. They also knew some ways to prevent physical diseases, but not what this person said. This was a completely new way.
Li Nian noticed the actions of the doctors and solemnly reminded: "Everyone, not all diseases can be prevented by this method. Acne is a special case."
What if these doctors go back and try to treat any disease to prevent it from being mild so that they won’t get serious disease in the future, then they will go astray.
Li Nian saw that after he finished speaking, some of the doctors looked a little unnatural, and it was obvious that they really had this idea.
Li Nian continued: "Not only people can get acne, but also certain animals, such as cows, but cows are far less serious than people getting acne, and it almost never kills cattle."< br>
“Therefore, pox pulp can be taken from cows with pox and inoculated into humans to weaken the toxicity of the pox virus. , you can also vaccinate calves with pox pulp first, and then obtain pox pulp from the calf."
"If pox is found in a certain place and you want to prevent the spread of pox, you need to blockade the place, Xu Jin said. You are not allowed to go out, and those inside must be isolated and cannot gather together.”
"Although the acne virus can be spread through the respiratory tract, its survival time in the outside world is limited after leaving the human body. As long as people in the place where the acne occurs do not go out, the acne can be controlled in the place where it occurs. If someone wants to enter, Masks and gloves can be worn to prevent the spread of pox virus. “As mentioned before, water. Boiling can kill most tiny things. It can also be used here. Wash the clothes and things used by the patient in boiling water to kill the pox virus. "
Li. Nian talked about some epidemic prevention knowledge summarized by later generations. The doctors listened very carefully, but they just hoped that they would not use it.
“These anti-epidemic methods can be used not only for acne, but also for plagues such as cholera.”
“As for the fungi, not all fungi are small. Some are not only not small, but also They are classified as microorganisms because most of them are small."
""Zhuangzi" says that 'chao fungi don't know Hui Shuo', and 'Liehzi' says that 'on the rotten soil, there are fungi' and 'fungi'. Mushrooms are all fungi.”
Everyone was surprised when they heard this. They did not expect that these things could be considered fungi.
“Fungus-induced diseases in the human body are common on the hands, feet and body surface skin, such as ‘ringworm’ that grows on the body.”
It turns out that the thing is caused by fungi, but this Fungi seem to be less powerful than bacteria and viruses.
“Fungi usually do not cause plague among us, but some of the diseases caused by it should not be underestimated. And although fungi do not cause plague to humans, they sometimes cause diseases to birds, animals and fish. Shrimp grass has serious impacts, such as reducing the yield of certain crops or causing them to become extinct.”
None of these tiny things should be underestimated. Reducing crop yields or even exterminating them is no less than causing a plague among people.
Li Nian gave the doctors some understanding of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. After he finished speaking, a doctor asked: "Sir, is malaria also caused by these three?"
Li Niandao: "No, although malaria is also caused by tiny things, it is not a bacteria, virus, or fungus, but a kind of insect. This insect is called 'Plasmodium' "
"People will get malaria, usually from the bite of a mosquito carrying malaria parasites."
"Once you get malaria, the malaria parasites will survive in the human body. If the blood of a person who has malaria is transfused, the disease may be transmitted. If a woman gets malaria during pregnancy, it will also be passed to her unborn child.”
Having said this, Li Nian added: "Not only malaria, but many diseases can be transmitted through blood and mother-to-child transmission."
The doctors nodded. In this era, malaria is not uncommon. This disease is the most troublesome to many doctors.
Because malaria is incurable, if you get falciparum malaria, you almost have to wait for death.
But today is different, this magical young man may know how to cure malaria.
A doctor was just about to ask Li Nian if there was any way to cure malaria, when he heard Li Nian say: "Malaria can be cured. As far as Li knows, Artemisia annua, that is, Artemisia annua, Artemisia annua, and Artemisia annua, can cure malaria." It can cure malaria, you can give it a try after you go back!”
"In a foreign land thousands of miles away from the Qin Dynasty, there is a tree named 'Cinchona Tree', which is also effective in treating malaria."
The Cinchona tree thousands of miles away will not be available for a while, but Artemisia and the others You know, some doctors couldn't wait to go back and try using Artemisia annua to treat malaria.
Over the years they have been practicing medicine, almost everyone has seen someone die from malaria. If it is really effective, it will be a blessing to all the people in the world, and countless lives can be saved.
If it is really effective, it is also the kindness of this young master, and the whole world should bear his kindness!
