409: Schistosomiasis

"Uncle, go and persuade Ah Lang, he's angry."

Qin Yuecai was full of wine and dragged his sour and uncomfortable steps home, and met Shuang'er with a panicked face.

"What's wrong with him again?"

"I don't know, the chairs have been broken twice."

"Huh?"

Qin Yue hurriedly followed, but there was no one in the hall, but he went to the back of the martial arts arena, and rushed to the martial arts arena again, and saw that Jia Yin was beating the sandbags fiercely.

"What a nerve?"

Jia Yin didn't speak, still hitting the sandbag, and didn't take a breath until Qin Yue got closer, and asked, "Is it really hard to cure the big belly disease?" ”

"Pot-bellied?"

"Well, I met one on the street today, I found more than a dozen medical centers, but no one treated me, Lang Zhong said that he was infected with the plague and there was no cure."

"What's the big belly method?"

"The person is lean, his belly is bulging, he is older than ten months pregnant, and my grandfather was ...... back then."

“……”

"Hello?"

Qin Yue rubbed his face vigorously and said, "I should have thought of this thing a long time ago, it is schistosomiasis, and it can only be prevented if there is medicine, it is difficult to treat, but it can be prevented." ”

"How to prevent it?"

"When this exhibition is over, I will implement it."

……

The city is thriving more than ever, and the exhibition has also achieved unprecedented success, with exhibitors not only earning face, but also earning lining, and all of them are smiling.

The efficiency of the opening of the palace is also very good, the ticket revenue on the first day is as high as 2,000, and on the second day and the third day, there are more than 1,500.

After three days of the exhibition, many exhibitors wanted to renew, but Qin Yue ruthlessly refused, and accepted it when they saw it, so that the coming year would be crazier and more surging.

At the end of the exhibition, it was an Oiran play, Qin Yue didn't want to cause trouble with this Fengyue, so he pushed it to Sikong, who was in charge of Dehua, and let him go in style. But he came to the government to find Zeng Wu.

In fact, Zeng Wu should have participated tonight, but he was in charge of the economic drama, his feet did not touch the ground for more than half a month, his tired feet weighed more than a thousand catties, his throat was astringent, and the pain of the fire was burning, how could he still have the energy to collect the beautiful official who was icing on the cake, and after returning to the palace, he was going to sleep well, but he was disturbed by Qin Yue.

"How many big belly diseases are there in each county and township? You're not sick, are you? ”

Qin Yue touched his nose and said with a smile: "This matter is very important." ”

"The plague is incurable, what's the use of your statistics."

"It can't be cured, but it can be prevented."

Zeng Wu sat up: "Can you prevent it?" ”

"In fact, it can be cured, but I can't find such a Langzhong, but prevention and control can be done."

"How to prevent it, so and so it will be implemented."

"Let's count first, how many such patients there are, and then we will make a plan according to the situation."

"Okay, I'll arrange it early tomorrow morning."

……

Zeng Wu was more attentive to this matter than to the economy, and early in the morning of the fourth day, he handed the statistics to Qin Yue's desk.

"More than 6,000?"

"Yes, this is still a preliminary statistic, and the farther ones have not yet been reported, both men, women and children."

"At the end of the afternoon and the beginning of the afternoon, the squire was summoned, and Lang Zhong came here to hold an epidemic prevention seminar, and a few patients were also found."

"Okay."

Seeing Zeng Wu leave, Qin Yue arranged for the guards to touch some snails and came back, and advised: "If you go to find the one in the pond, you must use a clamp and a net bag, don't go into the water, if you have touched it with your hands, be sure to wash your hands, but you don't need to wash the snails, the dirtier the better." ”

"No."

In just half an hour, the guards came back with a bucket full.

Qin Yue poured it into a large copper basin, poured clean water, and was going to observe it slowly, and said to himself: "This snail is very dirty, and there are red-headed insects in the water, do you want to wash it?" ”

"No, you see redheads in the water?"

"Yes, you see, these are the two."

Qin Yue squatted down to take a closer look, and saw that there were small insects as thin as hair, no more than half a finger long, swimming in the big basin, some pale yellow and some red.

Qin Yue knew that this was a red worm, and schistosoma were two different concepts, but it was enough to look disgusting.

"Where did you get this snail?"

"The big marshal said that he wanted to be dirty, so he went to Yangma City. There are also in the river and the stream, which should be cleaner, but they are almost touched by people. ”

"What are you doing here?"

"Eat, some people often touch the roasted food, and it goes well with wine."

Qin Yue nodded: "I know, you just look at this basin, everyone don't move, by the way, you didn't go into the water, right?" ”

"Nope."

"Zhuang Sheng, call you Uncle Huzi to come to the meeting too."

"Yes."

When Jia Yin heard about the prevention and treatment of big belly disease, he jumped on his war horse and galloped, which was an eternal pain engraved in his heart.

At the beginning of the last century, Zeng Wu organized nearly thirty squires, twenty langzhong, and ten patients with big bellies came.

The meeting was held in the compound in front of the lobby.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have gathered you here today to discuss how to prevent the big belly disease, ah, what you call the plague."

"Dashuai, can this plague really be cured?"

"It can be cured, but it's hard and difficult, and I don't know the prescription, who of you knows how this plague came about?"

When the people asked, Qi Qi looked at the old man on crutches, the old man's surname was Liu, and he was very good at curing diseases, so he was called "Liu Yiyi".

"This is caused by the accumulation of water and poisonous gases, which makes the abdomen grow larger...... Hence the name Water Gu, the medicine stone is incurable. ”

Qin Yue smiled: "That's half right, this disease is related to water, but it's not poisonous gas, it's schistosome." ”

Qin Yue first drew a schistosoma with a red pen on the rice paper sandwiched on the wooden board, the previous family was in Jiangnan, and there was still this popular knowledge on the wall when he was a child, so he still remembers the general appearance.

"You have a big belly because you have schistosomes in your stomach, and schistosomes are like this, they specialize in sucking blood for a living, and they almost live as long as people."

With a "plop", several big-bellied patients fell to their knees and cried: "Please save your life." ”

"Well, you get up first, you cry, Ben Shuai can't talk anymore."

Qin Yue found that it was really a mistake to call the patient, but for now, he could only comfort him first, and it was better to be miserable.

Liu Yishou's old face was a little unnatural, coughed lightly, and asked: "Dare to ask Dashuai, since it is a schistosome, it should have sucked the human blood dry, but why is it bloated like a drum, and there are symptoms such as yellow rash, ascites, umbilical hernia, and blood in the stool?" ”

"That's a good question."

Qin Yuexian smiled approvingly at Liu Yishou and continued: "Let's talk about what schistosoma is, I drew the appearance of an adult, so how did it enter the body?" ”

"The answer is that if you get it, you can get into the body of a human or animal through the pores, because at first it was so small that we could barely see it, and then we called it cercaria......

"After entering the body, about a hundred days or so, it grows up, it will look for the female worm to mate, lay thousands of eggs per day, a small part is excreted with feces, but most of them accumulate in the human body, the reason why advanced schistosomiasis will have a big belly is caused by its eggs and feces, as for the different symptoms, it is because of the different parts of the infection......

"Isn't there hundreds of millions of trillions of bugs in that body?"

Qin Yue shook his head: "This is not true, it must be excreted from the body before the eggs hatch into caterae, and if this hairlarvae does not have an intermediate host, it cannot develop." ”

"What is an intermediate host?"

"It's just that it can't hatch without its help, and if you see it, the culprit is it - the snail."

Liu Yishou smiled: "Forgive the old man for being rude, why does the handsome man say that the plague cup is bred by this little snail?" You must know that there are many people who use this as a dish. ”
