Chapter 53: Schistosomiasis

In the middle of the last century, many villages in the south of our country showed infinite vitality!

When the planting season comes, families go to the water to work for a living.

Despite the difficult conditions, everyone can talk and laugh, and the neighbors are happy.

However, one day, a strange disease called the "plague god" descended, breaking this comfort.

However, due to the underdeveloped economy at that time, these methods were extremely difficult to implement.

Many of the villagers quickly emaciated, and all that was left of their bodies was a piece of skin and bones.

They also grew shorter and smaller, looked like dwarfs, and gradually lost their labor.

But at the same time, their bellies are getting bigger and bigger as if they are pregnant, even big enough to turn their navels out.

At that time, as long as you lightly prick a needle in the stomach, ascites will come out of the needle hole, which is very scary

What's even more terrifying is that the lives of people are killed by it every day, and there is a suffocating despair.

The villagers who did not fall ill had to pack their belongings in a panic, leave their hometowns, and live a life of displacement.

It didn't take long for the once thriving village to become desolate and unscrupulous.

The main culprit for all of this is the dreaded schistosomiasis.

Grandpa has been exposed to these pathogens since he was a child, learning herbal medicine! This time, he judged that there was a bloods-sucking infection in this place that was extremely difficult to treat and prevent!

It's a parasitic infection! a terrible infectious disease!

After the woman cried for a while, gradually the woman stopped crying!

Grandpa kept looking through his ancestral medical book! It was given to her by her grandfather back then, and it recorded many diseases and herbal uses! He wanted to see how he could cure this disease!

In the end, although he found it, he did not have the ability to prevent it! He had also been exposed to this disease before, and there was no good way, only by finding the source would it be effective to prevent it!

Grandpa sighed! He made a decision to find a way to cure this place!

He came to town with the only woman and child left in the village!

The woman is probably also stimulated, often laughing and crying alone, and the whole person can't take care of herself! The woman's child is only about 3 years old!

Grandpa did a detailed examination of the woman and the child, and found that the two of them were not infected, but they had lived in such a terrifying atmosphere for a long time, and their mental endurance was a little poor, and the woman was frightened!

Grandpa wants to find the shop, or wants to see how to catch a few pairs of medicine for the little girl and the woman, and must protect the patient and do a good job!

Grandpa searched for a long time to find one, but now that the store has long been closed, it is estimated that the store has already moved away to avoid this disaster!

It's already evening, and grandpa took the woman to look for a long time but didn't find a place to stay!

At this time, I saw the boss who bought bean curd during the day, carrying the burden and preparing to go home!

Grandpa stopped the boss!

"Oh, big brother, we're meeting again!"

"Yo, it's a miracle doctor, you've come out of the village of the dead, are all the people in that village dead?"

"Well, isn't it, she's the only one left in the whole village!" he said, gesturing to the woman next to her!

As soon as the boss heard that this woman was from Huangcun, he was so frightened that he quickly took a few steps back!

"Big brother, you, you, aren't you afraid of being infected, I, I'm leaving!" said the boss who sold bean brains, and was about to leave.

"Brother, listen to me! The fact that she survived means that her mother and mother have not been infected! I have already checked that her two bodies are not infected with the plague!"

"Oh, that's good, that's good, that's good, I'm scared of this plague, doctor!

"We're not sure, but you can try!"

With a plop, the little boss who sold bean curd knelt down in front of his grandfather, "Divine doctor, please save my mother! My mother also has this disease! The family really has no choice! Just waiting to die!"

Grandpa looked at the sky, it was already dark! I'll just go and see! Maybe I could save a life!

Grandpa followed him to a house in a small alley in the town!

"Divine doctor, I'll take you to see my mother!" Grandpa nodded!

At this time, there was a woman in her 50s lying on the mat on the ground!

The woman on the ground developed a cough, chest pain, and occasionally bloodshot sputum, as well as fever.

Through the progress of the grandfather without asking and examining, the patient had dysentery-like stools, sometimes with blood and liver and spleen.

Schistosomiasis is caused by schistosomiasis, so the schistosomiasis must be killed for the disease to be cured.

The initial manifestation of the disease is that the surface and the inside are evil, and when the insect evil Gu poison enters the body through the skin, the first thing to be damaged is the lung guard, the theory of traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lungs and the large intestine are on the surface, and the Gu poison enters the intestines from the viscera, and even destroys the intestines; In the middle and late stages, the liver and spleen will be damaged.

The principles and methods of treatment at different times of schistosoma are different, for the beginning, that is, in the acute stage, insecticide and anti-Gu poison are the main methods, supplemented by the basic treatment of detoxification and nourishing qi and yin. Strive to achieve the goal of complete pest control.

After finding a cure, my grandfather prescribed the right medicine and asked people to buy a lot of herbs! A prescription was prescribed: Bupleurum, Skullcap, Green Bark, Magnolia, Caoguo, Fabanxia, Poria Cocos, Gardenia, Coptis chinensis, Honeysuckle, Licorice. This recipe has the effect of clearing away heat and dampness, and killing insects!

At the same time, the family was asked to isolate as soon as possible! And asked not to have too much contact with the patient! At the same time, the grandfather also went to check that the family's drinking water was okay!

Grandpa and the woman brought back from Huangcun also stayed in the bean curd seller for a while! He was able to treat this patient at any time! During this period, Grandpa basically cured the woman's illness, and the woman stopped going crazy, so Grandpa left the family! And the woman returned to her parents' house with the child!

With the outbreak of the plague, the state attaches great importance to the schistosomiasis that occurs in Jiangxi!

Yujiang quickly set up a professional organization for the prevention and control of schistosomiasis, carried out publicity, investigation, prevention and control experiments, basically investigated the epidemic situation, and found practical and feasible prevention and control methods such as combining agricultural production with water conservancy, opening new ditches and filling old ditches, and burying snails in the soil.

Grandpa was a medical worker, and actively participated in the medical team for the prevention and control of schistosomiasis, and put forward experience and suggestions from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine!

After two years of hard work, my grandfather and many medical workers are on the front line. Finally, in the winter of 1955, we took the lead in eradicating schistosomiasis at the county level in the country.

Later, my grandfather followed the medical team to many places to treat schistosomiasis! In those days, there was a strong desire to build the motherland after the founding of the People's Republic of China!
